Cultivating A Strong Walk With The Lord
Text: Colossians 2:6
The Christian faith was never meant to be a weak and passive religion. Our faith is sometimes described as a “walk”.
1. The believer walks with the Lord.
2. He seeks to follow the footsteps of the Lord Jesus.
3. There is meaningful communion with each other in this Walk.
4. Faith can result in a very meaningful walk with God.
MAINTAINING THAT WALK WITH THE LORD
The apostle Paul encouraged the Colossians to do their utmost to maintain their walk with God.
“As you therefore have received Christ Jesus the Lord,
so walk in Him.”
