How The Gospel Continues To Change Us
Whether you asked Jesus into your life as an adult, were led in prayer by a camp counselor as a teen, or met Jesus as a child, we all have a story about how we gave our lives to Jesus. But our stories don't end there. Surrender is just the beginning!
Jesus wants you to "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). As we spend time with God, our priorities change and our hearts tune into what He values. We begin to invest selflessly in relationships and share the Gospel as we "are rooted and established in (His) love" (Ephesians 3:17).
God knows everything we have done or will do, yet He chooses to love and bless us in ways we can't imagine, much less deserve. We can't begin to "grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ" (Ephesians 3:18). Understanding His mercy and goodness, our hearts overflow with thankfulness.
Reflect
- What is one way you can be rooted in God's Church and in His Word?
- How can you let your thankfulness for His goodness pour out into relationships in your life?
Scripture
About this Plan
Jesus made a lot of claims about Himself during His time on Earth. One of the most audacious claims Jesus made is that He is “the way and the truth and the life” (John 14:6). You’ve probably heard preachers say, “Jesus is the only way to heaven.” Why is that? Who did Jesus really claim to be? And what does it mean to make Him the standard for truth?
