Are you spiritually strong?

In Colossians 1:9-11, Paul wrote, “For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God; Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness; …”

Paul wanted spiritual strength for his beloved brethren, but strength does not come easy. Spiritual growth requires food and exercise. In the physical realm, our bodies will not function without them. The reward of growth is in vs. 12 -- we can be “partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light.”

A Christian grows by attending worship to God, by the company of fellow Christians, and by private study of the scriptures. If you will continue your study with diligence and patience (2 Timothy 2:15), then you can be a partaker if you will obey the gospel by having faith, confessing Christ, repenting of your sins, and being baptized into Christ.
