“…because of the hope laid up for you in heaven. Of this you have heard before in the word of truth, the gospel, which has come to you, as indeed in the whole world it is bearing fruit and growing.” Colossians 1:5-6

The Bible teaches the sufficiency of the gospel for everything in life. We see the gospel is a living thing like a seed or a tree that brings more and more new life--bearing fruit and growing. The gospel is "planted" in us to bear fruit as we understand its greatness and implications deeply—understood God's grace in truth. The gospel continues to grow in us and renew us throughout our lives, as it has been doing since the day you heard it. This is cause for rejoicing in God’s goodness and grace.
