You Can’t Believe Everything You Hear; However, You Can Always Believe the Bible.
If I were to list my top 5 favorite books of the New Testament, Colossians would definitely be one of them. I LOVE it! One of my favorite things about it is how direct and up front Paul is in this book. He basically says, "This is what you must do to live a pure Christian life and this is how you are going to do it." There is no beating around the bush in Colossians.
In Colossians you will see the importance of the church emphasized. I love the imagery used in Chapter 1 verse 18: Christ is the head of the body, the church. It makes me wonder, how can one be connected to the head if they are not a part of the body? I am not sure that they can.
Colossians if full of warnings that are just as applicable today as they were then – the bible is the only truth that we can trust. People will try and convince us otherwise, the world will tell us that its ways are good enough. But the world’s ways will leave us broken and empty, searching for more.
Here is the good news: There is so much more! Colossians reminds me that there is really only one thing that I can trust and it’s all I need. The bible is called The Book of Life for a reason, if we allow it, it will give us a new and complete life. It truly is everything we need.
