So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord,

…continue to live in him, ROOTED and BUILT UP in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness. Colossians 2:6-7

Like a tree’s roots reaching down into the soil for nourishment and stability, followers of Jesus are meant to be grounded on the deep and stable foundation of Christ. Being rooted in Christ means allowing His word to be the absolute standard in our lives and in everything we do.

It’s about going deeper in our faith, so we are not easily influenced by life’s circumstances and the pressures of this world. The deeper our roots are in Christ, the more we grow in his ways, and the more fruitful we become.
