Cameron walked us through the last chapter of Colossians. He explains that it’s clear that the gospel is not just a set of beliefs, but a reality that transforms every aspect of our lives. The Colossians, like us, faced temptations to either focus too much on earthly things or to seek spiritual experiences apart from Christ. Yet, Paul reminds us that fullness of life and spiritual maturity are found only in Jesus. He is not just the centre of our salvation, but the centre of all things—the one through whom all was created, who sustains all, and for whom all exists. Through faith, we are united to Christ: we have died and risen with Him, our lives are hidden in Him, and we await His return with hope.
This new identity in Christ reshapes not only our character but also our relationships within our homes, our church, and with those outside our community. Paul draws our attention to three marks of a community rooted in Christ: prayerfulness, witness, and encouragement.
