2. We confess the name of Jesus. (Colossians 1:3-4, Romans 10:9-10)

3. We are also committed to follow Jesus. (Colossians 1:10-11, Romans 12:1, Luke                 9:23)

4. We are spiritual soldiers. (Ephesians 6:12)

5. We are to exercise authority. (Colossians 1:12, Matthew 25:21, 2 Timothy 2:12)

 Next steps...

• Thank the Lord for your “union with Christ” in His death and resurrection, so that the old has gone and the new has come. Ask God to help you live out of your new nature in Christ.
• As you wear your Growing Deeper bracelet, be prepared to tell people about your desire to grow deeper in your love for Jesus and your commitment to His kingdom.
• Think about what has God put you in charge of.  How can you exercise your authority so that people see Jesus in and through you?
