Colossians 2:16-23 NASB1995
Last Week: Colossians 2:9-15
Paul confronts the false teaching aimed at the Gentile Christians at Colossae, reminding them that IN CHRIST they are circumcised, made alive, free and victorious.
"Sad to say, there are many Christians who actually believe that some person, religious system, or discipline can add something to their spiritual experience. But they already have everything they ever will need in the person and work of Jesus Christ." –Warren Wiersbe
