Colossians 2:6
So then,
just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in him ~
Colossians 2:6
The message
is clear here: keep the faith as it was taught. In today’s world we are more
apt to water down the word found in Jesus Christ to make it more “inclusive.”
That inclusiveness though, allows those who cannot see God’s way in the message
to continue to live in sin. God is a holy God, and His way ultimately leads to
healing, not to overlooking. This is what makes the message of Jesus “all-inclusive”,
for he came to heal the sick, the broken, the lost and forgotten. He came to
forgive the enemy, love everyone equally, and to call us all to follow. We are
to love the sinner, but not the sin. Today’s church says love the sinner, and
don’t look at the sin. The message found in this scripture is not to turn to
the left or the right, but to walk in the teachings of Jesus Christ. The
Covenant of the Old Testament was made new in Him, but the teachings He never
rebuked. He is the way, the truth, and the life, and He is the only access to
God the Father. Follow the narrow path to life.
