Living Life to the Fullest, in Christ

Have you ever wondered what the point of learning is? The point is to retain important information that can be used to help us throughout life. When we become Christians, we attend church and weekly Bible studies to gain knowledge to live out the life God created us for. In return we are to share this knowledge with others as part of our obedience to God. In Colossians 2:6-7 (NIV), it says, “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.” This verse tells us we are to remain doers of the Word and become stronger in our faith as we get older and wiser by reading the Scriptures and living out our lives through obedience in Him. Many Christians get on fire for God for a while, and then over time they lose their energy, focus, and motivation and fall into a backslidden state of mind. As a Christian we have a responsibility to remain faithful in our church attendance and Bible study in order to keep our minds sharp and our hearts pure and full of the Holy Spirit so we can live out this verse of Scripture with our lives. Are you living your life to the fullest in Christ? If not, it is time to reread this Scripture found in Colossians and remember what you need to be rooted and built up in. Anything else is not living up to God’s standards.
