First Steps – August 19, 2019

It is not just about what you know, but how what you know determines how you live.

It is one thing to say, “I believe in Christ;” however, something completely different to live as one who believes in Christ. Belief and behavior are eternally linked. This is the message of the book of Colossians. Paul’s reminder to this church is a continual message of because you are in Christ, you live out of your oneness with him.

I would imagine if you are reading this devotional, then you are a follower of Christ. The good news is that you are one with him AND you live out of that very same oneness. To say it differently – the blood of the Lamb of God has redeemed you for a purpose, that your life would be a living witness of what you believe.

It is not just about what you know, but how what you know determines how you live.
