Daily Devotions
May 18th, 2010 by Pastor SolleyCol 2:6-10
6 As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him:
7 Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.
8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.
10 And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:
“So walk ye in Him” we are commanded in verse 6. So many claim that the Christian life is too hard a life to live, that they can’t walk in Him. And the preaching today is that it is OK to just be or do the best we can. After all God loves us and as long as we just do the best we can God will be pleased. That is humanistic philosophy. (Verse 8) What God commands God expects us to do. Yet we are not left to do it on our own. Notice verses 9 – 10. In Him dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead. And according to verse 10 we are in Him and He is in us. That does mean that all the power of the Godhead is ours in Jesus Christ. We are complete in Him. All the power of God, all the wisdom of God is ours in Jesus Christ as we walk in Him. When a Christian says I can’t it is an indictment of his or her walk in Christ. No power no walk with the Savior, much power a close walk with Jesus. Walk complete in Him today.
