Colossians 1:28 (NIV)
28 He is the one we proclaim, admonishing and
teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone fully
mature in Christ.
Our goal as Christians is not to obey some law, to adhere to
some set of rules, or even be followers of some discipline. Our goal as
Christians is to be conformed to the character and ministry of Jesus. This is
the Spirit's work in us (2 Cor. 3:18) as Paul makes clear here and in other
places (Galatians 4:19), this is his goal in working with others. Shouldn't
this be our work as parents, friends, and spiritual mentors, too?
Thought for today:
Am I legalistic in my approach?
