God’s will for people and His church

This started as a study of Colossians 2 but became more an exposition of key concepts branching off of the first nine verses of that chapter.

Colossians, like Ephesians gives a picture of what God wants of His people, and what we may hope for from Him.

In this study which follows one on Colossians 1, we go to other Scriptures to comment on how they are part of the whole message of the gospel.

Other random comments pertaining to all people add to this. God is reaching out to all who will hear Him. He wants to draw them to know Him, take on His nature, and shine as lights in the world. God is the builder of His body (Ps 127:1).

Our calling is thus to align ourselves with Him, as it is His will, and He is to be our true North.

While no one is infallible, God is “able to keep you from stumbling,” and He is the “Spirit of the truth.”

He is also love, so what else better can we do but seek first His kingdom and righteousness?
