TODAY’S DAILY DEVOTIONAL MESSAGE
Back to Basics
Colossians 2:6-7 (NIV)
“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.”
Colossians 2:6-7 urges believers to return to the basics of their faith, emphasizing a life rooted in Christ. It’s an exploration of the transformative power of embracing the simplicity of the gospel, finding strength and gratitude in the foundational truths.
Just as You Received Christ Jesus as Lord: The beginning sets the tone. Colossians 2:6 starts with a reminder of how believers first received Christ Jesus as Lord. May this truth inspire a return to the foundational moment of encountering Jesus, embracing the simplicity of faith.
Continue to Live Your Lives in Him: The Christian journey is a continuation. Colossians 2:6 encourages believers to continue living in Christ. May this invitation lead to a daily walk with Jesus, marked by intimacy and reliance on Him.
Imagine a narrative where individuals, feeling the weight of complexities, intentionally return to the foundational truths of their faith. This story unfolds as they rediscover the joy and strength found in the simplicity of living in Christ.
The foundation of faith is simple—Christ. As we meditate on Colossians 2:6-7, may our hearts be drawn back to the basics, finding strength and gratitude in the profound simplicity of a life rooted in Christ.
Prayer:
Lord Jesus, bring me back to the basics of my faith. May I daily live my life in You, rooted and built up, strengthened in the foundational truths. Let gratitude overflow as I embrace the simplicity of walking with You. Amen.
