Cleaving to Christ

The following reading, Cleaving to Christ is adapted from F.E. Marsh’s, 500 Bible Readings.1

Who, when he came, and had seen the grace of God, was glad, and exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they would cleave unto the Lord.—Acts 11:23

The following seven ways will indicate how we can cleave to Christ:

  1. By prayerful dependence upon Him (Phil 4:6).
  2. By being taught by Him (Matt 11:29).
  3. By ready response to His word (John 14:21).
  4. By whole-hearted surrender to Him (Rom 12:1).
  5. By separation from the ungodly (2 Cor 6:17).
  6. By living a life of faith upon Him (Gal 2:20).
  7. By waiting for Him (1 Thess 1:10).
