What does it mean to take hold of Christ?

Answered in 1 source

Taking hold of Christ means actively trusting and relying on Him for salvation, akin to how biblical figures sought Him in their need.

Taking hold of Christ involves a dynamic act of faith where individual believers grasp His sufficiency for salvation and daily living. This concept is illustrated through various biblical figures who, in their moments of greatest need, expressed their desperation for Christ's mercy. For instance, the blind Bartimaeus and the Syrophoenician woman both exemplified earnestness in seeking Christ, demonstrating that laying hold of Him requires persistence and an understanding that He is our only source of life and hope. Thus, to take hold of Christ means to cast aside reliance on oneself and fully trust in Him for spiritual sustenance and salvation.
