Colossians 2:6-7 Part 2 of 2

So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.  

continue to live your lives in him, rooted and built up in him 
Ephesians 3:17b-19  And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together will all the Lord's holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge--that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.

strengthened in the faith as you were taught 
Ephesians 4:20-24  That, however, is not the way of life you learned when you heard about Christ and were taught in him in accordance with the truth that is in Jesus. You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; to be made new in the attitude of your minds; and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness. 

and overflowing with thankfulness 
Ephesians 5:20  ... always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. 
Colossians 3:15  Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. 
Colossians 4:2  Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful.
1 Thessalonians 5:18  ... give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.
