Colossians #4: “Alive in Christ”
Text: Colossians 2:6-23
The church in Colossae is being pulled in two directions: by those who would inject pagan practices into Christianity, and by those who would require gentiles to keep the Mosaic law in order to be Christian. Paul encourages the early church to continue to live in Christ, to be rooted and built up in him, to be strengthened in their faith, and to overflow with thankfulness.
