Grow Strong in the Truth

No matter how long it’s been since you began your journey to live each day in Christ, you always have room to grow stronger in the truth of His love.

“Let your roots grow down into him, and let your lives be built on him. Then your faith will grow strong in the truth you were taught, and you will overflow with thankfulness. “
─ Colossians 2:7 NLT

Through relationship with the Lord, you are able to grow in your faith. He is always available to help you along the way.

You live and grow in Him by:
• Surrendering fully to Him (Romans 12:1-2).
• Learning from Him through His life examples and teachings (Romans 3:16).
• Allowing the Holy Spirit’s power to be at work in your life (Acts 1:8).

Let your roots grow deep in God’s truth.

In the verse above, Paul paints a picture of your life in Christ growing as a plant nourished in a garden. The deeper the roots go, the more firmly they are planted in the soil, drawing strength from the soil for everything it needs.

In the same way, you can draw your strength from Christ by receiving nourishment provided in the truth of Scripture. The more you understand God through His Word, the less likely you are to be trampled by life’s storms. Let your roots grow deep in God’s truth.
