Walking; the Recipe

What is the recipe for walking “in” Jesus? Looking at Colossians, we can see the ingredients. First there are roots. When we say we “put down roots,” generally it means we are here to stay. Faith (in abundance) is another ingredient. When we are children and taught fire is hot, we have faith it will be hot always. In the context of this verse we need to have faith in the things God has taught us in His word. To complete the recipe we need to add thanksgiving.

So, walking in Jesus may look like, never leaving Him, trusting in Him and being thankful for what He has done for us.

“As you therefore have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him, rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving.”  Colossians 2:6,7  NKJV
