Quotes about Colossians

It is, in other words, inviting those who read it or pray it to imagine a different world from the one they see all around them—a world with a different Lord, a world in which the One God rules and rescues, a world in which a new sort of wisdom has been unveiled, a world in which there is a different way to be human. "Wisdom" is in fact the subtext of much of Colossians.

The true test of a saint's life is not successfulness but faithfulness on the human level of life. We tend to set up success in Christian work as our purpose, but our purpose should be to display the glory of God in human life, to live a life "hidden with Christ in God" in our everyday human conditions (Colossians 3:3).

Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and Timothy our brother,

the faith and love proceeding from the hope stored up for you in heaven, of which you have already heard in the word of truth, the gospel

You learned it from Epaphras, our beloved fellow servant, who is a faithful minister of Christ on our behalf,

and who also informed us of your love in the Spirit.

if indeed you continue in your faith, established and firm, not moved from the hope of the gospel you heard, which has been proclaimed to every creature under heaven, and of which I, Paul, have become a servant.

I became its servant by the commission God gave me to fully proclaim to you the word of God,

the mystery that was hidden for ages and generations but is now revealed to His saints.

We proclaim Him, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone perfect in Christ.

in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.

Tychicus will tell you all the news about me. He is a beloved brother, a faithful minister, and a fellow servant in the Lord.
