Descripción

Paul calls the church back to the basics of how they first received Christ, by grace through faith, and says that’s also how we continue to grow (Colossians 2:6–7). Growth isn’t about chasing a “new thing,” but being rooted, built up, and established in Christ, with a life overflowing in gratitude. At the same time, Paul warns that if we’re not rooted in Christ, we’ll be pulled away by “philosophy and empty deceit” (Colossians 2:8). These gospel rivals promise more but ultimately try to replace Jesus at the center. The good news is that we don’t need anything more. In Christ, the fullness of God dwells, and we have been filled in Him (Colossians 2:9–10). Through His death and resurrection, our sin has been forgiven, our record of debt canceled, and every spiritual power defeated (Colossians 2:13–15). Real growth happens when we stay close to Jesus, rooted in His finished work, and guarded against anything that tries to pull us away from Him.

Book of Colossians Week 9 — Colossians 3:5-17

When our joy is rooted in comfort, adversity shakes us. But when our joy is rooted in Christ, even hardship becomes an opportunity for the greatness of Jesus to be put on display. Biblical joy is not temporary happiness based on circumstances. It is a deep and permeant awareness of God’s grace in Christ. And when that joy takes hold of our hearts, it naturally and supernaturally overflows into mission. Mission is not primarily about going or doing. It is about being a people so captivated by the beauty of Jesus and so satisfied in Him that His glory spills into every corner of life. As a result, we pray, give, and send. These are not duties we perform, but the overflow of a church whose joy is anchored in Christ and whose desire is to advance the gospel.
