There are times when God’s children start operating on cruise control and don’t stick with the basics that they have been instructed. Paul writes, “As you have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him, rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving” (Col. 2:6-7). As Paul encouraged the Colossian saints to get radical, let’s do the same by staying with the fundamentals that we’ve learned.
The way we get radical is by having our daily devotions. That is, we read God’s Word every day and employ what we learn, and talk to Him continually. Once again, look at the words of Paul and think about being radical (rooted) “As you have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him, rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving” (Col. 2:6-7). Let’s get radical!
