In these verses Paul gives us practical teaching on how to share the gospel and here are five steps that Paul gives for how to share the gospel.
Being filled with the spirit is incredibly practical, let’s go into this week thinking that I will be clothed with power from on high or that I will drink and be filled with the Holy Spirit to go about my day. It’s something we need to do daily if not many times in the day.
Colossians 1 and 2 are full of glorious truths and explain the gospel, but in chapters 3 and 4 Paul gets practical and looks at how we connect what we believe with how we behave.
All of these things that Paul warns them about have something in common, they’re each sending the message that we’re not complete without them, you need these rituals, you need these super spiritual experiences and the extra rules to control yourself.
The fullness of God exists in Jesus and only in Jesus, let’s dive into him and be excited that we can get to know who God is through Jesus.
The magnitude of Jesus, his supremacy and his glory is something we desperately need to understand. And all of what we’ve looked at today God says dwells in you because Christ is in us as a believer
If we want to pray in a similar fashion we need someone to teach us and the book of Colossians helps us with that.
In this world we hear these phrases a lot, ‘all religions are the same’, ‘each is as good as another’ but all of us need to hear that Jesus alone completes you, Jesus alone has dealt with your past, given you a place in heaven and made you complete.
