Overflowing with Thanksgiving

Listen to the Audio

Colossians 2:6-7 says, "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."

In this verse we see a progression...

1. First we must receive him
2. Then we must live and abide in him so that we are rooted and built up in him.
3. Next we must get strengthened or established so that we are fixed and immovable. 
4. All of this leads to overflowing with thankfulness. 

Being full in Christ, means that thankfulness just flows out of us. The more we receive from him, live in him, and get established in him the more thankful we become. As thanksgiving overflows it creates a virtuous cycle that expands our capacity to receive even more from him, grow in him, and be even more thankful. 

I am praying for you.
