6\xa0And now, just as you accepted Christ Jesus as your Lord, you must continue to follow him.\xa07\xa0Let your roots grow down into him, and let your lives be built on him. Then your faith will grow strong in the truth you were taught, and you will overflow with thankfulness. 8\xa0Don\u2019t let anyone capture you with empty philosophies and high-sounding nonsense that come from human thinking and from the spiritual powers of\xa0this world, rather than from Christ. Colossians 2:6-8 (NLT)

9\xa0For in Christ lives all the fullness of God in a human body.\xa010\xa0So you also are complete through your union with Christ, who is the head over every ruler and authority. 11\xa0When you came to Christ, you were \u201ccircumcised,\u201d but not by a physical procedure. Christ performed a spiritual circumcision\u2014the cutting away of your sinful nature.\xa012\xa0For you were buried with Christ when you were baptized. And with Him you were raised to new life because you trusted the mighty power of God, who raised Christ from the dead. Colossians 2:9-12 (NCV)

13\xa0When you were dead in your sins\xa0and in the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made you alive\xa0with Christ. He forgave us all our sins,\xa014\xa0having canceled the charge of our legal indebtedness,\xa0which stood against us and condemned us; he has taken it away, nailing it to the cross.\xa015\xa0And having disarmed the powers and authorities,\xa0he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them\xa0by the cross. Colossians 2:13-15 (NIV)
