Tom Maus continues in our Unrivaled series by asking us if we know what we have in Christ. In Colossians 2: 1-5, Paul wanted the Colossians to know these three things: The first is that he wanted them to know that he struggled on their behalf. The next is that he warned them about being influenced by plausible arguments. Lastly, he expressed two things that they needed to give themselves to.
Paul wanted the people to know that he struggled on their behalf. Just as Paul struggled for the Colossians, the leaders at Cedar Springs are exerting themselves for you. They care for you and pray for your needs.
If we’re not careful, plausible arguments can trip us up. Tom lists some of the arguments that we need to destroy. Among these are that the church doesn’t really care about us. This is simply not true.
There are two things that we need to give ourselves over to. The first is that we need to be knit together in love. Tom explains what it means to be knit together and how important it is. The other is that we must gain the full assurance and understanding of Christ. Tom lists ten important truths that we need assurance of.
Do you know what you have in Christ?
