We cannot allow ourselves to be shaped by the world; therefore, we must be shaped by Jesus. We do so through repentance, rooting ourselves in Jesus in word and deed, not the world. We must also be built up in Christ and in His body, the people of God, the church.
Rooted and Edified in Christ | Toward a Biblical Worldview | Sermon Outline
As therefore ye received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in him, rooted and builded up in him, and established in your faith, even as ye were taught, abounding in thanksgiving...for in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily, and in him ye are made full, who is the head of all principality and power (Colossians 2:6-8, 9-10).
