‘So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness. ' - Colossians 2:6-7
As I read this passage, it occurred to me that every person, Christian or not, is ‘living their lives in ‘something’. Everyone is ‘rooted and built up’ in something. All peoples, believers or not, are ‘strengthened’ in something.
But only those who are doing these things ‘in Him’ and ‘in the faith’ can overflow with thankfulness.
