Colossians 2:6-7 "As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him: Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving."
Our salvation was by God's abundant grace through a child-like faith. In this same way, we are to continue in Him. In this same way we are to walk throughout our days here on earth - living moment by moment by his abundant grace through a child-like faith.
He is to be our foundation. Our lives should be established in faith, the fundamental basis for everything we do, ought to be our faith. Now the last admonishment starts to make sense - abound in faith with thanksgiving.
What does it mean to abound in your faith with thanksgiving? The word abound means to "overflow, to super-exceed and have a measure left over." I think we can take this 2 ways. One, that our faith should grow and grow, expanding throughout every part of our lives. And two, that our life itself should abound with faith as its foundation.
How are you walking today? By grace through faith? Is your faith the foundation of your life? Are you abounding in that faith today? Can those around you tell?
