Value-Added Attachment
"...and not holding fast to the Head, from whom all the body, nourished and knit together by joints and ligaments, grows with the increase that is from God." (Colossians 2:19 NKJV) The contrast between religion and relationship represents the subject of Apostle Paul's exhortation to the Colossians. They have had trouble managing the doctrine of the Judaism, which was rooted in the regulation of life based on " dos " and " donts ". Strong attachment to religious practices without healthy relationship with Christ offers little value to the well-being of the body and soul. More than the expected service to the Master, Christianity is more about the cultivation of the process of obtaining a daily serving from the throne of grace. Only a value-added attachment guarantees divine grace for daily growth.
