Deep Roots in Jesus for Finding True Stability
- Having deep roots in Jesus means drawing strength, identity, and security from Christ instead of from work, relationships, finances, pleasure, or self-reliance.
- Church involvement alone cannot produce the fruit and joy of salvation when a believer’s deepest roots remain planted in unstable sources of strength.
- Paul’s command to be rooted in Jesus calls Christians to stop being their own sustaining force and to trust Christ as the only foundation that can hold when life shakes.
You want to keep being your own sustaining force? Dave Clayton explains that it is possible to spend your whole life in church and never experience deep roots in Jesus.
