As you therefore have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him, 7 rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding [d]in it with thanksgiving. Colossians 2:6,7 (NKJV)
Paul spoke about the importance of faith, the prominence of Christ, importance of spiritual knowledge, wisdom and understanding to grow in the knowledge of Christ. He reiterated that we should walk worthy of our calling, being fruitful in *every good work*, remembering that God delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the Kingdom of the Son of His love. We are not under any principalities or spiritual powers in wicked places. They can't control our lives unless we let them.
Jesus is the image of the invisible God. He is before all things and in Him all things consist. If we are in Christ, we carry the image (original prototype of Adam and Eve - in God's image He created them) of God. Isn't that wonderful. We are to walk in Christ, rooted and built up in Him.
We are to be mindful of some religious rituals - in food, drink, festivals, new moons, sabbaths which were shadow of things to come. No false humility, worship of angel's, neglect of the body, self-imposed religion. We should seek those things above where Christ is, set our minds on things above not on earth. What is the state of your mind and thoughts today?
The character of a life transformed by Christ will reflect mercy, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering, bearing with people, forgiving freely and clothe in love. Sounds like fruit of the Spirit to me. How are you doing in all these?
Let us continue earnestly in prayer being vigilant in it with Thanksgiving (Colossian 4:2).
God is doing a marvellous thing, only the spiritual alert will perceive it.

Almighty Father, thank You for the gift of life and salvation of my soul. May my life be transformed by grace. Help me to be merciful, kind, humble, meek, longsuffering, bearing with people, forgiving freely and clothe in love. In Christ Jesus I stand. Amen.
I pray this inspires you to be more and do more for Yeshua Ha Mashiach (Jesus Christ). Spend this week to meditate on the passage and take relevant step to live out your faith.
