047 Walking in Jesus: Faith, Works, and Gratitude

Listen Later

Tuesday, 8 August: In this episode of The Daily Grind, we're exploring Colossians 2:6-15 with host John Spencer. Paul's letter to the Colossians is full of rich theology, but in this passage, he focuses on practical advice for how believers can grow in their faith. Spencer unpacks Paul's teaching on faith, works, and gratitude, and shows how these three concepts are all interconnected. He also offers some helpful tips for how we can apply these truths to our own lives.

Here are some of the key takeaways from the episode:

  • Our salvation is a gift from God, but it's not a free pass to live however we want. We are called to live a life of good works, which are a natural outflow of our faith.
  • We should never neglect the importance of gratitude. When we take the time to thank God for all he's done for us, it deepens our faith and strengthens our relationship with him.
  • The best way to grow in our faith is to keep walking in Jesus. This means being rooted in his Word, following his example, and relying on his power.

    • If you're looking for a deeper understanding of how to walk in Jesus, this episode is for you!
