Lessons For How To Live

In Colossians 2:6–15, Paul gives us practical lessons for how to live faithfully in Christ. Spiritual maturity doesn’t mean needing Jesus less, but learning to depend on Him more as we stay rooted and built up in our faith. We are warned not to be captivated by empty philosophies or counterfeits that pull our hearts away from Christ, because in Him we already have what we need most. Instead of striving to earn what Jesus has already secured, we can rest in His finished work, knowing that through the cross He has set us free from the guilt, shame, and debt of sin and has triumphed over the power of the enemy.
