Colossians A Summary

Colossians A Summary

Apr 29, 2024

If you have been united with Christ, direct your focus towards heavenly matters, where Christ reigns at the right hand of God. Set your heart on things above, rather than earthly desires.

Through your union with Christ, your life is now hidden with Him in God. When Christ, who is the essence of our existence, is revealed, you too will share in His glory. Consequently, eliminate the worldly aspects of your being: sexual immorality, impurity, passion, evil desires, and greed, which is tantamount to idolatry. Due to such behavior, the wrath of God is imminent upon the disobedient. You were once accustomed to living in the same manner, but now you must rid yourselves of all such things: anger, rage, malice, blasphemy, and coarse language.

Do not deceive one another, as you have discarded your old self and its sinful practices, and have clothed yourselves with the new self, being renewed in knowledge according to the image of your Creator. In this renewed state, there are no divisions between Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave, or free, for Christ is all and in all.

Therefore, as God’s chosen and cherished ones, embody compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. Bear with one another and forgive each other if anyone has a grievance against another, just as the Lord forgave you. Above all these virtues, let love be the binding force that unifies them perfectly. Allow the peace of Christ to govern your hearts, since you are called to live in harmony as one body, and always express gratitude.

Let the message of Christ dwell richly among you, as you instruct and encourage one another with wisdom through psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts.

Whatever you do, whether in speech or action, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him. Wives, submit to your husbands as is fitting in the Lord. Husbands, love your wives and do not be harsh with them. Children, obey your parents in everything, for this pleases the Lord. Fathers, avoid provoking your children, lest they become disheartened. Slaves, obey your earthly masters in everything, not merely to please them while being watched, but with sincerity of heart, respecting and loving Christ Jesus.

Whatever you do, wholeheartedly work at it, as if you are serving Christ and not human masters, recognizing that you will receive the inheritance from God as your reward. It is Christ whom you serve. However, whoever does wrong will face consequences for their actions, as there is no partiality excepting those whom live in Jesus.

Salvation; Life Set Free

Salvation; Life Set Free

Most teachers teach in all the religions that you will have to earn your way to Gods’ favor and will have to act particularly to keep it. Many doctrines and philosophies are just that, nothing more. Men trying to better interpret Gods’ Word.

Praying to God for carnal lusts or desires is telling God what to do, and this is against scripture. Pray with praise for a job you are good at, pray for understanding, pray for what you can handle, If you want God’s help, ask for it through Christ, praise but let God decide your capacity – unless you think you are wiser than God. Pray for knowing a thing, pray for translation, pray for insight. We pray you receive and sow with all about you, what you learn.

You are never abandoned ever. In Mathew 28 verses 18, 19 and 20 we are given our mission,

18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

You are in Christ, reborn, you are as Christ, forever new, clean and close to God. We all have a savior in Christ.
In John 3 verse 7, Jesus tells us all, “Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.”

Teach means disciple, to mentor others in the word. They will have to represent reborn with the true heart of Jesus. It was written to the heart of everyman that all men recognize the truths present in the word, welcome now in the open arms of God, the Son and the Holy Spirit

Ephesians 1
2 Grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

A Christian, a born-again a disciple, a dedicated follower of Jesus. A disciple is a follower or adherent of the teacher. Discipleship is not the same as being a student in the modern sense. A disciple actively imitated willfully both the life and the teaching of Christ Jesus. It was a deliberate apprenticeship, completed become the master disciple a living copy of Jesus. The New Testament records many followers of Jesus. All born-again disciples and Christians were given a mission, after the resurrection of Jesus, or the conversion of Paul, making them apostles, charged with proclaiming the gospel (The Nearly To Good To Be True News) to the world. Jesus emphasized that being his disciples was the way and the path.

In James Chapter 2 verse 19 it says,

“19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.”

Christian is identified with by many, claimed in fact under foundations of the law, now and forever freed by Christ Jesus to follow in his path. In Romans 4 verse 13 we hear,
For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.

In John chapter 6 verse 30-31-32 you read,

30 As he spake these words, many believed on him.
31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;
32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

Freedom is the word of God understood. Many call themselves Christians but are not free, mostly because they think everything, all of life depends on what they do. Fact is this life depends on what Jesus did. It is not what you can do for Jesus, but it is about what Jesus did for you. Trust in you or trust in Jesus and become a disciple in deeds through truth.
You are set free with a ticket to heaven it is within you. In Psalm 91 verse 8 it says,

8 Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.

United in Christ who are you? Standing before God what is your identity? No feeling guilt, shame, condemnations for Colossians 3 verse 4 says,

“4 When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.” Verse one says, “3 If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.”

Come to the Light of Salvation, reborn again in Christ Jesus

John 3 verse 19, 20 and 21 the word says,

19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

One Spirit with Him.

in the Book of 1 Corinthians 6 verse 17 the word says,

17 But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.

Jesus with you, Within you. You are becoming.

Hidden in Christ we are one with God.

You cannot fix the past, so we will press on together in Christ, It is so simple, if you cannot fix the past you will replace it. In Corinthians 5 verse 17 it says,

“17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.”

In the book of Colossians 3 verse 3 I quote,

“3 For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.” in Christ you are anew all old is replaced.

The Divine Collaboration

Grace and Faith: A Heavenly Partnership

Grace represents the unmerited favor that God bestows upon us, a gift that exists independently of our actions or worthiness. It is the divine benevolence that was present even before the dawn of humanity, a fundamental aspect of God’s nature that we cannot earn or influence.

Faith, on the other hand, is our heartfelt response to this divine generosity. It is the means through which we accept and activate the grace that God has already extended. Faith is not about creating grace; it is about receiving and recognizing what is already given to us through God’s infinite love.

Together, grace and faith form a powerful synergy that is essential for salvation. This partnership is not about balancing scales or earning favor; it is about accepting a gift with a grateful heart and allowing it to transform us from within. Through faith, we let God’s grace work in and through us, leading us to a life of fulfillment and spiritual renewal.

Apostle Paul

Spiritual Leader and Author of Ephesians

Harmonizing Grace and Faith

The Divine Balance

Understanding the intricate relationship between grace and faith is essential for every believer. Grace, as described in the scriptures, is the unmerited favor of God; it is a gift that exists independently of our actions or worthiness. It is the foundation upon which our relationship with God is built.

Faith, on the other hand, is our response to this divine benevolence. It is through faith that we accept and appropriate what God has already provided. This act of faith does not create grace but rather accesses and activates the grace that God has freely given. Thus, maintaining a balance between grace and faith is crucial for a fulfilling spiritual life.

The Atoning Sacrifice of Christ

In the profound depths of divine love, Jesus Christ stood as the atoning sacrifice for our sins, embodying the ultimate expression of grace and redemption. This sacrificial act was not limited to a few but extended to every soul, past, present, and future, offering a pathway to reconciliation with God, free from the burdens of guilt, shame, or condemnation.

Standing in Christ: A New Identity

Embracing our identity in Christ allows us to stand confidently before God, clothed in the righteousness of Jesus. This standing is not earned by our deeds but is a gift of grace through faith. In Christ, we find a renewed spirit, empowered by the certainty that our past sins do not define our future.

Regaining the Spirit of God

Through Christ’s atonement, we are invited to regain the Holy Spirit without reservation. This renewal of spirit transcends human imperfections, enabling us to live in the fullness of God’s blessings, guided by His unmerited favor and not by our performance. In Christ, we are perpetually renewed, ready to receive the abundant life promised to us.

Embrace the Gift of Grace

Step into the divine flow of Christ’s spirit, knowing that the work has already been completed on your behalf. You are merely called to accept this profound gift of grace. Let faith be your guide as you open your heart to the blessings already bestowed upon you by God’s unending favor.

Accept His Favor

Jesus gave us this parable of the sower sowing seeds as the key to understanding all His parables (Mark 4:13).

We begin to understand the truths of the importance of God’s inspired Word as this parable is teaching us, We begin to see the change in our lives that we desire as it aligns with our heart in Christ. God’s Word is the seed sown in our hearts through Jesus to effect change in our salvation and in the works we will do together.

And he said unto them, Know ye not this parable? and how then will ye know all parables? The sower soweth the word. And these are they by the wayside, where the word is sown; but when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts. And these are they likewise which are sown on stony ground; who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness; and have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word’s sake, immediately they are offended. And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear the word, and the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful. And these are they which are sown on good ground; such as hear the word, and receive it, and bring forth fruit, some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some an hundred.

The word is the incorruptible seed we plant. The word is God breathed.

Understanding Grace and Faith

The Divine Partnership of Grace and Faith

Grace is often described as the unmerited favor of God, a gift that exists independently of our actions or worthiness.

It is the means through which we accept and activate the grace bestowed upon us, allowing it to transform our lives and guide our spirits.

Together, grace and faith forge a powerful alliance that facilitates our spiritual renewal and salvation.

This partnership is essential, for one cannot function without the other in the pursuit of spiritual fulfillment and eternal peace.

A Harmonious Blend for Salvation

John the Apostle

His powerful words are meant to elicit belief not only from those who have yet to experience Jesus, but also to bolster the confidence of struggling believers.

Philippians 4:6 and Thessalonians 5:18-19 teach us about the importance of prayer and continual gratitude, regardless of our circumstances.
