Life Lessons from Colossians



1.  Instead of taking apart the “Colossian heresy” point by point, the Holy Spirit guides the apostle Paul to present a positive presentation of the truth of the preeminence of Christ:  In order to recognize the counterfeit one must be able to recognize the genuine (1-2).

2.  Doctrinal truth (1-2) must bear fruit in practical conduct (3-4).

3.  If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is…Set your mind on things above (3:1-4).    

Conclusion:  Read Colossians and gain a fresh appreciation for Christ as the fullness of God and the only source for living the life we were created to live!
