"DEEP ROOTS PRODUCE FAITH SHOOTS" - 9-18-2022

Alive in Christ

Col 2:6  Therefore as you have received Christ Jesus the Lord, walk in [union with] Him [reflecting His character in the things you do and say--living lives that lead others away from sin],
Col 2:7  having been deeply rooted [in Him] and now being continually built up in Him and [becoming increasingly more] established in your faith, just as you were taught, and overflowing in it with gratitude.
Col 2:8  See to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception [pseudo-intellectual babble], according to the tradition [and musings] of mere men, following the elementary principles of this world, rather than following [the truth--the teachings of] Christ.
Col 2:9  For in Him all the fullness of Deity (the Godhead) dwells in bodily form [completely expressing the divine essence of God].
Col 2:10  And in Him you have been made complete [achieving spiritual stature through Christ], and He is the head over all rule and authority [of every angelic and earthly power]. (AMP)

Col 2:6 In the same way you received Jesus our Lord and Messiah by faith, continue your journey of faith, progressing further into your union with him!
Col 2:7 Your spiritual roots go deeply into his life as you are continually infused with strength, encouraged in every way. For you are established in the faith you have absorbed and enriched by your devotion to him!
Col 2:8 Beware that no one distracts you or intimidates you in their attempt to lead you away from Christ’s fullness by pretending to be full of wisdom when they’re filled with endless arguments of human logic. For they operate with humanistic and clouded judgments based on the mindset of this world system, and not the anointed truths of the Anointed One.
Col 2:9 For he is the complete fullness of deity living in human form.
Col 2:10 And our own completeness is now found in him. We are completely filled with God as Christ’s fullness overflows within us. He is the Head of every kingdom and authority in the universe! (TPT)
