I read these verses yesterday and really saw the heart of God speaking through Paul in Colossians. Paul laid out a simple list of things that are God's heart for you. You see it's not enough just to get people but God's desire is to grow people. Here is the list and I think you will recognize the process, yes it's ours.
1. I want them to be encouraged and knit together by strong ties of love.
- BELONG
- Nothing says ,"you belong", like love.
- From belonging you get encouragement and develop a support system, a family
2.I want them to have complete confidence that they understand God's mysterious plan, which is Christ himself.
- BELIEVE
- God's wants YOU to confidently understand His plan.
- You'll never get it and be confidant until you read His Word.
- S.O.A.P.
- When you are convinced of God's will for you, then you become convincing to others.
3. And I rejoice that you are living as you should and that your faith in Christ is strong.
- BECOME
- You are doing it without me, Paul says.
- The goal is to grow up into someone that doesn't need a mentor, but begins to mentor others.
- Become someone who can be an influencer for Jesus.
