Walking with Christ begins by realizing that we live life in two different realms. We are too often focused on living life by strict rules in the realm of earth, ignoring the fact that our connection to Christ introduces us to the realm of His kingdom. This is where our energies should be focused. Living in this realm means less of a focus on restrictive rules to protect us from the realm of earth and more striving to engage with God's kingdom. As we do this, we will find that our engagement with the world deepens in meaningful ways, which are detailed as Colossians continues.
