SCRIPTURE

"As therefore ye received Christ Jesus the Lord, [so] walk in him," — Colossians 2:6 (ASV)

As you have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk you in him:

That is, keep on as you began. Christ was enough for you when, as poor, guilty sinners, you came and trusted him; so keep on trusting him in the same way as you did at the first. Do not try to live by feeling, after having lived by faith. Do not begin to live upon outward forms and ceremonies after having found salvation by grace through faith: As you have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk you in him:

As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him:

Do not go away from him. You have received him; keep to him.

Whatever he was to you at first, let him be that to you to the very last. Do not begin with Christ, and then go back to self; let it be all Christ from first to last.

As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him:

Do not turn away from him, do not dream of going beyond him. You received him at first very simply, you trusted in him entirely, so go on doing so. You were satisfied with Christ when you first came to him, so be satisfied with him still, for you do not need anything more than Christ, and there is nothing more than Christ.
