Anemic

We know that God knows all things. He knows the beginning and the end. He has always existed and always will exist. He made all things and by him all things continue to exist.

Scripture says that we shall be like him for we shall see him as he is (1 John 3:2). Paul said God is forming us into the image of his Son (Romans 8:29). Keeping these truths is mind, let’s read Colossians 3:9-10. “Do not lie to one another, since you have put off the old man with his deeds, and have put on the new man who is renewed in knowledge according to the image of Him who created him…”

“The new man is renewed in knowledge, according to the image of Him who created him.” It is the continual renewing of our knowledge of him that sustains our spiritual health. Our continual seeking of his face is the blood of our spiritual beings. To cease from seeking knowledge of him is to become anemic and sickly. If things do not change, we will eventually die.
