ESTABLISHED IN THE FAITH

Colossians 2: 6-8
As ye have, therefore, received Christ JESUS the LORD, so walk ye in Him. Rooted and built up in Him, and established in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding with thanksgiving. Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.

Walk in the Light of JESUS Christ and do not allow the darkness of this world's system to dull your sight of Him.

Everyday, we are bombarded with twisted language about many things. We have become numb to the many lies and manipulation that we hear, excusing them as being "politics" or "advertising" or amplification of the truth so that it sells papers. We are dulled to the effect of lies which come from the father of lies, Satan. Some people sound convincing and sound like they are telling the truth, but they are not.

There is a test that you can hold up to anything that you hear: does it conform to the Word of GOD. The Holy Scripture is a filter to filter out the lies and reveal the truth. Any philosophy that will not name the Name of JESUS, must not be from GOD for GOD will never deny JESUS, because JESUS is GOD. There are lots of good sounding traditions of men and philosophies around and many good books that sound pretty convincing, BUT are nothing than vain stories with no good in them. Followers of these vain philosophies are putting themselves in danger.

We must be rooted in the Word of the LORD; grounded in JESUS Christ and established in the faith so that we can stand in the day of temptation. We must walk in JESUS; following His lead and His Light; obedient to His Word and the faith that is found in Him. ABOUND IN THANKSGIVING FOR ALL THAT HE HAS DONE FOR US.

FOR IN JESUS DWELLETH ALL THE FULLNESS OF THE GODHEAD BODILY AND YE ARE COMPLETE IN HIM WHO IS THE HEAD OF ALL PRINCIPALITY AND POWER. (Colossians 2:9, 10)
