“In our prayers we talk to God, in our Bible study God talks to us, and we had better let God do most of the talking.”
— D.L. Moody
Scripture focus
6. As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, [so] walk ye in him: 7. Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving. 8. 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.
Colossians 2:6-8 — KJV
As ye have therefore received. “As” refers to the manner in which they had received the message of salvation preached by Epaphras (Colossians 1:7). While the apostle rejoices with them in the measure of faithfulness they already have (Colossians 2:5), he kindly, but firmly, admonishes them to hold on to it.
Christ Jesus the Lord. These three titles of the Messiah gather within themselves the fullness of His position and functions. His mission as Saviour is embodied in the name “Jesus” (Matthew 1:21). “Christ” suggests His Messianic office, and “Lord” (see on 1 Corinthians 12:3) His identification with, in some instances at least, the Yahweh of the OT.
Walk. Gr. peripated, “to conduct oneself” (see on Ephesians 2:2). Paul urges the believers to keep on continuously conducting themselves and their affairs within the sphere marked out by their trust in Jesus, doing only what He would do, and interesting themselves exclusively in the things that would please Him.
