“As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in Him: rooted and built up in Him, and established in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with
thanksgiving.” (Colossians 2:6-7)
Perhaps you have heard about the child who fell out of bed one night. When asked why she fell out, she replied, “I think I stayed too close to where I got in.” When we receive Christ as Savior we are to walk in Him. Walking is forward progress, one step at a time and is not as difficult as standing still. The Christian life was never intended to end at the altar or wherever one received Christ for salvation.
We are to be rooted in Him, firmly planted that we might grow, and be able to stand as an oak tree during the storms that will surely come. We are not to be blown about by every wind of doctrine, but rather are to be established as though anchored and not drifting. And let there be an abundance of thanksgiving for His blessings on us during our walk with Him.
