Colossians | Putting On Christ
Shared on: Aug 12, 2019
There are many tempting distractions that threaten to lure our hearts away from God, and not all of them are apparent and worldly sins. In fact, some of the most diabolical pitfalls offer a false illusion of piety that appears quite religious at the onset. Nevertheless, anything that distracts us from resting in the finished work of Christ alone as the basis of our right-standing before God is an enemy to the Christian faith and therefore an obstacle to the good of our soul. The Apostle Paul exhorts us that "as we have received Christ, so we are to walk in him, rooted, built up, and established in our faith." This letter takes us to the heights of Christ's glory and then applies the implications of his divine identity to the practical outworking of our faith in everyday life. May these resources empower you to display the matchless glory of Jesus Christ as your community continues to "set your minds on things above," and "put to death" the things of this world.
