WHAT GOD WANTS TRUE SEEKERS TO KNOW

“So we have not stopped praying for you since we first heard about you. We ask God to give you complete knowledge of his will and to give you spiritual wisdom and understanding.”

4. True spirituality is JESUS-CENTERED

“Christ is the visible image of the invisible God. He existed before anything was created and is supreme over all creation for through him God created everything in the heavenly realms and on earth. He made the things we can see and the things we can’t see—such as thrones, kingdoms, rulers, and authorities in the unseen world. Everything was created through him and for him. He existed before anything else, and he holds all creation together.”

Colossians 1:15-17

“And whatever you do or say, do it as a representative of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through him to God the Father.”
