Scriptures for Meditation:
Ephesians 3:17-19 and that the Messiah may dwell in your hearts through faith. ?I pray? that you, being rooted and firmly established in love, 18may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the length and width, height and depth ?of God’s love?, 19and to know the Messiah’s love that surpasses knowledge, so you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
1 Peter 2:2 Like newborn infants, desire the pure spiritual milk, so that you may grow by it for ?your? salvation,
Colossians 2:6-7 Therefore, as you have received Christ Jesus the Lord, walk in Him, 7 rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith, just as you were taught, overflowing with gratitude.
Hebrews 6:1-2 Therefore, leaving the elementary message about the Messiah, let us go on to maturity, not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, faith in God, 2 teaching about ritual washings, laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment.
