Scripture Colossians 2:6-10

As I read these words they tell me that I am to stand firm in the faith. As we look around us we can see where so many people are not standing firm in their faith. They were taught the way of a Christian when they invited Jesus into their hearts. They believed what they were taught, until one day someone said,"I wonder if it is really right?" They started to question what they believed and down their faith went. They went back to obeying the traditions of men instead of the word of God

If there is some issue that you are not sure about, don't ask man what you should do. Ask God, and by His Holy Spirit He will teach you through the Word what is right. Many are following some man today instead of following the Lord and their lives are miserable. They are not even sure what is right anymore.

We are not to be like that. Make very sure that you know beyond a shadow of a doubt what you believe. Then hold fast to it and don't let man or anything else sway you from what you know is right. Verse 6 says,"...as ye have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in Him." If you want to know the right way to live, forget the traditions of men, look at the way Jesus walked, follow what He did and you won't go wrong. If you follow Jesus and not the world, you will be a living example of pure love to a world that needs to see, that love and caring still exist.




Walking as the Master walked
Is sometimes hard to do.
But when we're living as we ought
God's love comes shining through
