Read Colossians 2:6-15
6 Since you have accepted Christ
Jesus as Lord, live in union with him. 7Keep your roots deep in him,
build your lives on him, and become stronger in your faith, as you were taught.
And be filled with thanksgiving.
8 See to it, then, that no one
enslaves you by means of the worthless deceit of human wisdom, which comes from
the teachings handed down by human beings and from the ruling spirits of the
universe, and not from Christ. 9For the full content of divine
nature lives in Christ, in his humanity, 10and you have been given
full life in union with him. He is supreme over every spiritual ruler and
authority.
11 In union with Christ you were
circumcised, not with the circumcision that is made by human beings, but with
the circumcision made by Christ, which consists of being freed from the power
of this sinful self. 12For when you were baptized, you were buried
with Christ, and in baptism you were also raised with Christ through your faith
in the active power of God, who raised him from death. 13You were at
one time spiritually dead because of your sins and because you were Gentiles
without the Law. But God has now brought you to life with Christ. God forgave
us all our sins; 14he cancelled the unfavourable record of our debts
with its binding rules and did away with it completely by nailing it to the
cross. 15And on that cross Christ freed himself from the power of
the spiritual rulers and authorities;e he made a public spectacle of
them by leading them as captives in his victory procession.
Think
Keep your roots deep in him, build your lives on him, and become stronger
in your faith, as you were taught. And
be filled with thanksgiving. - Verse 7
Pray
Be filled with thanksgiving.
