“As you have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in Him: rooted and built up in Him, and stablished in the faith…” | Colossians 2: 6-7
Have we received Christ Jesus, the Lord?
Then let us continue in Him just as we began in Him – relying entirely upon His grace for our acceptance with God and access to His mercy. Just as, at the first, we looked for all things in Him, so let us still seek no other treasury of Divine blessing other than the Son of God. Let us look for no “higher life” than to be found in Him, not having our own righteousness but His righteousness received by faith alone. Let us look for no second work of grace as a supplement to the grace we have already been given in Christ. As He first captivated our hearts, let us continue to be captivated by Him consumed with a desire to know Him and finding no greater joy than to learn of Him. This is the good life.
All else is a lingering death!
All else is a casting aside of wonderful things for worthless things.
All else is to live like a slave rather than as a son!
