*BUILD YOURSELF IN CHRIST*
And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified (Acts 20:32).
In our last study, we touched on something very important: YouтАЩve received Christ, yes; but you must continue in Him and be built up in Him. He said in John 8:31, "тАжIf ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed.тАЭ Spiritual growth is intentional. It doesnтАЩt happen by chance; the responsibility is yours to allow the Word of God to dwell in you richly (Colossians 3:16).
No one can grow for you. No one can build your spirit for you. Your progress in Christ is directly tied to your personal commitment to the Word. You may say, тАЬIтАЩve read through the entire Bible from Genesis2 to RevelationтАЭ; but reading isnтАЩt enough. Remember the words of the Lord Jesus for us to search the Scriptures; Paul said to study. ThereтАЩs a difference. Reading informs you, but searching unveils truth, and studying establishes it within you.
Until you move beyond casual reading, you wonтАЩt walk in the depth, authority and power of the Word. ThereтАЩs more in God, so much more. As you give yourself to study, meditation, and the ministry of the Spirit, deeper revelations are unveiled to you. Your convictions become firm, your discernment refined, and your walk with God steady, consistent, and built on truth.
Remember, we win by His Word. YouтАЩre sustained by the Word of His grace, which is able to build you up and unveil your inheritance to you. That Word must dwell richly in you, shaping your thoughts, your responses, and your direction. So, donтАЩt be passive about your spiritual growth. 1 Peter 2:2 says, "As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby.тАЭ
The strength and stability of your Christian life are determined by the depth of the Word in your spirit. YouтАЩve received Christ, thatтАЩs powerful; now build yourself in Him. Grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Be established in truth.
*PRAYER*
Dear Father, I thank you for the Word of your grace that builds me up and establishes me in Christ. IтАЩm strengthened, rooted and grounded in the truth of your Word. My life is structured by your Word, and I walk in ever-increasing grace and glory as the revelation of your Word floods my spirit and strengthens my faith, in JesusтАЩ Name. Amen.
*FURTHER STUDY=>*
2 Timothy 2:15 KJV
Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
Colossians 2:6-7 NIV
So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in him, [7] rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.
Jude 1:20 KJV
But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,
