Colossians 2:6-7 (NKJV) 6 As you therefore have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him, 7 rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving.
There are so many books and teachings today on being built up in ourselves. Although it is good to have confidence in who God made us, we need to remember our roots and our Maker.
The way that the world portrays this is that we look to ourselves to do the building, to achieve things on our own, with no help whatsoever. That way, we give ourselves all the credit and all the glory!
They try to make it look like we are so powerful and wise that we don’t need anyone or anything to help us, causing us to become arrogant, prideful and almost unbearable to be around.
Remember why the enemy got kicked out of heaven. He was trying to take over, thinking he was self-sufficient.
We must remember our roots no matter where we are in our lives. And those roots are in Christ. We are to be built on these roots, that they stay embedded in our hearts forever.
It’s in Him that we are built up. Not in and of ourselves. Not in and of anyone else. No professor, no pastor, parents, etc.
They can help steer us in the right direction at times, guiding us, but the building up of ourselves is found in and through Christ alone.
Keep our eyes on Him.
