Christ Over Everything - ColossiansSample

Theme: Rooted and Built Up in Christ

These verses give us a powerful vision for spiritual growth. Paul says, "As you received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him." Just as salvation came by faith, so should your daily walk continue—with trust, humility, and dependence on Him.

He uses vivid imagery—being rooted, built up, and established in the faith. Roots determine fruit. If your life is planted in Christ, it will grow and flourish, even in difficult seasons. But Paul also gives a warning: don’t be taken captive by empty philosophies or traditions that aren’t aligned with Christ.

Why? Because in Him the fullness of deity dwells—and you have been brought to fullness in Him. There’s nothing lacking in Jesus. Everything you need for life and godliness is found in Him.

Daily Application: Evaluate where your spiritual roots are planted. Are you drawing life from Christ daily, or depending on other sources? Reconnect to Him today through Scripture and prayer.
