    In these first 14 verses we receive Paul’s standard greeting of "Grace and peace to you from God our Father," we see Paul’s thankfulness to God or what He is doing in and through the Colossians and we see how Paul prays for the Colossians.

    You could not imagine a more clear-cut invitation to receive God’s free gift of eternal life than this final climactic invitation of the Bible. (Outlined from ICR's "Day's of Praise")

    This is the 27th of 30 Studies on the Book of Romans and is about bearing with the weaknesses in faith of other people, and not imposing our own views on them.
