Colossians 2:1-7. So Walk In Him

The first several verses of Colossians 2 serve as the "hinge" of Paul's letter. In these verses, Paul swings the door from who Jesus is in all his preeminence to what that means for daily living. The Colossians were facing a deceptive philosophy in their culture. What will protect them against those deceptions? A deep and intimate knowledge of Christ strengthens the believer and equips him to live a life pleasing to God, protected from the deceptive arguments of this World.
