Obedience is faith lived out

Colossians 2:6-7
And now, just as you accepted Christ Jesus as your Lord, you must continue to live in obedience to him. Let your roots grow down into him and draw up nourishment from him so you will grow in faith, strong and vigourous in the truth you were taught. Let your lives overflow with thanksgiving for all he has done.

Remember your "yes" must be a daily "yes."
As you pick up your cross and follow Me.
Daily - step after step - walk to your Jerusalem.
Know that I am with you to the end of days- that is for ALL time.
Obedience is faith lived out.
Go deep in relationship with Me so that you may draw strength from Me.
Remember, My Joy - joy in Me is your strength.
In growing deep you must reach out to others for Faith without works is dead.
Don't you see this is why death to self must occur?
Your focus is to be on Me and others and then you will grow strong in the Truth you have been taught and continue to learn.
Live your life in thanksgiving and goodness will flow from your heart.
Think on these things that are true, honorable, right, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent, praise-worthy and My Peace will be with you.
For what you think you become.
Keep your mind captive to Christ, and you will grow strong in faith.
Others will know you are Mine by the way you live and love.
