We now begin a new study in the book of Colossians. This young, small church is currently under attack. Any time there is a true work of God taking place, you can be certain that it will come under the attack of Satan.
The enemy will first question the word of God. He will then question the deity of Jesus. Once a believer has been thoroughly softened up, Satan will alure us with the lust of the eyes, the lust of the flesh and the pride of life.
Paul counters this attack by placing great emphasis on the preeminence of Christ. Further, he places additional emphasis on living a mature, godly life in Christ Jesus. This is done by living in faithful obedience to Jesus and His word. Obedience to God's word solidifies our foundation in Jesus.
As we go through this letter, we will see how great it is to be in Christ, how great it is to live for Christ and how great it is to know that we will live for all of eternity with Christ.
