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.
To many people, Christianity is just something that’s done in passing, as a way of showing some kind of faith or belief in God, but with little or no commitment to “walking it out”. In other words, it’s not really who they are, but just something they do when it’s convenient.
This is not faith at all and, in fact, these people are likely not really even Christians at all. Now I know that may sound judgmental, but lets take a look at what God’s word says, above.
Paul, in the verses above, is instructing the Colossian believers to walk in Him, not just follow some casual kind of belief system. Further, he instructs them to be rooted in Him and established in the faith!
This is definitely more than a casual Sunday morning relationship here.
We often have people write to us, asking us questions about how to draw closer to God or how to hear God’s voice, or even how to know what God’s call or purpose is for them in their life.
And we are always careful to instruct them the same way; Press in to God, spend time in His word and learn of Him. Get to know Him. Doing this will give us a better understanding of who He is and who He wants us to be.
Once we have that understanding, everything else becomes much more clear and easy to understand.
So if you feel like your walk with God is casual, or if you’re struggling to find God’s purpose for your life, root yourself in Him, build yourself up in Him and establish yourself in the faith. If we will take the time and make the effort to do this, so many other things in our lives will eventually fall into place.
