Colossians 2:6-7 (NKJV) 6 As you therefore have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him, 7 rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving.
These two verses are the “formula” for building a strong walk with God!
In reality, there is no secret formula. But what is stated in the verses above gives us a strong base to work with. But let’s look at a breakdown of these verses.
Walk in Him; learn of Him, put into practice what He taught, and follow the example He set while He was here on earth.
Rooted and built up in Him; taking what we learn in His word and walking it out in practical ways each day.
Established in the faith; maturing as we gain understanding and knowledge, not wavering in our faith.
As you have been taught; showing our faith by example, making it alive in our lives so others can see Jesus in us. By this we glorify God with our lives.
Abounding in it with thanksgiving; the truth of the gospel, and the love of God, flows out of us as people see God transforming us, and we express our gratitude toward Him in all that we do.
Growing as a believer isn’t as difficult as we often make it.
The biggest factor or requirement in all of this is a willing, obedient heart.
We just need to let God touch our heart and make it pliable. Once that happens, so many other things will begin to fall into place in our walk with God.
