6 As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him: 7 Rooted and built up in him, and established in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving. 8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. 9 For in him dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodily (Colossians 2:6-9).
Following Christ is not about following a bunch of rules, but rather about following a person. That person is the fullness of God in bodily form. Our faith therefore is centered on Christ. The Old Testament points toward Christ as the savior of people, and the New Testament points toward the consummation of all things and redemption of Creation through Christ. The entire continuum of human history is intertwined with person and work of Jesus Christ.
