Rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.--- Colossians 2:7 Paul uses the illustration of our being rooted in Christ. Just as plants draw nourishment from the soil through their roots, so we draw our life-giving strength from Christ. The more we draw our strength from him. The less we will be fooled by those who falsely claim to have life’s answers. If Christ is our strength, we will be free from human regulations.--- Life Application Study Bible notes
