Colossians

 

Colossians

Paul writes the church at Colossae a letter about who they are in Christ, and how to walk in Christ.

Colossians 1 summarizes the preeminence of Jesus Christ in creation and redemption, affirming that all things were created by and for Him and that He holds all things together.

Colossians 2 warns against deceptive philosophies and emphasizes that believers are made complete in Christ, who is the head of all spiritual powers.

Colossians 3 Paul urges believers to focus on heavenly things rather than earthly ones, because they have been "raised with Christ".

Colossians 4 Paul gives key instructions on Christian conduct ending with personal greetings.[1]
