Reflect
Paul emphasizes in these verses that the Christian life isn’t just about accepting Jesus one time and that’s it. It’s about a continual rooting and building up your relationship with Him. We continue to strengthen our relationship with Christ as we continue to be taught, and live our lives in faithful community with others around us. We don’t just accept Jesus once, but we continue to live in Him, and by His strength and through the Holy Spirit. This is the beginning of the eternal life that’s promised to us, and for that we have a lot to be thankful for.
Apply
In what ways are you able to continue to root deeper in your relationship with Jesus? How is He calling you to build your relationship? How are you continuing to learn about your relationship with Christ, and how He has uniquely created you? How can you express your thankfulness towards Jesus for His continued pursuit of you?
