„So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in him."
Colossians 2:6
Thoughts within the New Covenant
Just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live in him. Paul says: You received Christ by faith, now continue by faith. Not back to works, not back to rules.
The beginning was grace. The way remains grace. Many start in faith and slide into performance. Paul says: Stay in the same principle. As you started, so continue.
Today you can keep living the way you began, in Christ, through faith.
Truth & Application
Truth: The beginning was grace, and the way remains grace. As you received Christ, so you may continue living in him. No switching from faith to performance. Stay in the same principle.
Today practically: Check today honestly: Am I still living by faith or have I unknowingly slipped into performance? If so, return to the beginning: grace.
Question for you: Where have you switched from the faith principle to performance thinking?
Prayer
Father, thank you that the way in Christ remains the same as the beginning: grace through faith. Today I continue in him. I release the switch to performance. Holy Spirit, keep me in the principle of grace. Amen.
