We saw that Colossians 2:6 summed up Paul's purpose in writing to them:
Therefore, as you received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in him, rooted and built up in him and established in the faith, just as you were taught, abounding in thanksgiving.
People were struck by:
* The gospel hallmarks of faith, hope and love
* Faith, hope and love – now and forever. The mark of the Christian.
* The opportunities we have to seek to serve one another!
* The need to ensure we are worthy Christians, living and walking in the gospel.
* Faith, hope and love are a gift from God – not works
* A great insight into the gospel deluxe and its sufficiency
May Paul's prayer for the Colossians indeed be our prayer for one another:
... that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, so as to walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to him, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God. May you be strengthened with all power, according to his glorious might, for all endurance and patience with joy, giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in light.
