Paul begins his letter with an avalanche of encouragement! He reminds the Colossian believers of who they are in Christ (1:2), lets them know that their pastor (Epaphras) thinks well of them (1:7-8), and shares the beautiful substance of his prayers for them (1:9-14). -- “Adoption is the highest privilege that the gospel offers; ...adoption is higher [than justification] because of the richer relationship with God it involves.” (J I Packer, Knowing God, 1973, pp. 230–1). -- Preacher: Jonathan Smith Series: No Turning Back Passage: Colossians 1:1-14 Subscribe: apple.co/2Jht9Cs More: www.reddoorchurch.com.au
