GETTING CLOSER TO GOD? Part Four

GETTING CLOSE TO GOD? Part Four

Tuesday, April 7, 2020

Colossians [MKJV] 1:26-29 The secret which has been kept from all times and generations, but has now been made clear to his saints, To whom God was pleased to give knowledge of the wealth of the glory of this secret among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory: Whom we are preaching; guiding and teaching every man in all wisdom, so that every man may be complete in Christ; And for this purpose I am working, using all my strength by the help of his power which is working in me strongly. 

  Colossians 2:6-10 As, then, you took Christ Jesus the Lord, so go on in him, Rooted and based together in him, strong in the faith which the teaching gave you, giving praise to God at all times. Take care that no one takes you away by force, through man's wisdom and deceit, going after the beliefs of men and the theories of the world, and not after Christ: For in him all the wealth of God's being has a living form, 

And you are complete in him, who is the head of all rule and authority: 

  Christians striving to get closer to God is a waste of time and effort for body, soul, and spirit. Time and effort that could best be used in His service. It’s like using a treadmill or stationary bike to get to a place when we are already there.

  Let’s refuse profane and old-womanish tales, and exercise ourselves to godliness. (1Tim.4:7)
