Weekly Sunday Worship
SUNDAY WORSHIP SERVICE
at 9:00 a.m. APRIL 11, 2021
In the first two chapters of Colossians Paul establishes the supremacy of Christ in all things including our salvation. He now turns from the indicative of the gospel (who we are by virtue of God’s grace) to instruction which drives the imperatives for our lives (what we should do in accordance with God’s Word). Paul begins now to show the new status of the believer in Christ.
He shows this new status by contrasts, and they are massive! On the one hand, he shows the sins of v.5, saying, "Put to death therefore what is earthly in you: sexual immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry." Then on the other hand he mentions the virtues associated with Christian character in vv.12-17, such as, "12 Put on then, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience, 13 bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. 14 And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony." As these marks of the Christian life shine we are admonished to do them all, whether in word or deed, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ! We are to name the name of Christ in all we do! It's all for His glory!
