In Colossians 2:6-7 Paul emphasizes that the Christian life begins by receiving Christ as Lord and continues by walking in Him. Paul warns against false teachers who claim believers need more than Jesus through special knowledge, rules, or experiences. Paul insists that Jesus is enough to save them and mature them, he is everything they need. Rooted in Christ, continuing one day at a time Christians are built up and their faith is confirmed as genuine. The result of this secure and ongoing relationship with Jesus is a life abounding in thanksgiving, pointing others to Christ through grateful hearts.
