Colossians 3:10 “Put on your new nature, and be renewed as you learn to know your Creator and become like him.”
This verse struck me this morning. Specifically, “be renewed as you learn to know your creator…” Getting to know our creator seems to be the most overlooked part of the Christian faith right now. How often are you challenged to just spend time in God’s word? The only way to truly know the God we claim to love, worship and serve is to spend time getting to know Him. Learning who He was, what He did, why He did it, and asking questions when things just don’t seem to make sense.
It’s almost like we’ve totally skipped this part and went straight to trying to live like Him, attempting to love and worship Him. I’m not sure about you but I have a very hard time trying to become like someone I don’t even know. There are so many scary assumptions made when we try to live like Christ and barely know Him.
So I would challenge you today, take this verse and follow its instructions. Be renewed as you get to know your creator and then allow Him to mold you into the person He longs for you to become. Trying to live any other way will always leave you feeling like, there’s something missing….
Excellent and so very true. I struggle how to love God more and the answer is definately to KNOW Him more!
