Colossians 2:6-7As ye have received Christ Jesus the Lord so walk ye in Him.Christian activity the safeguard of the ChurchThis letter was written under opposite feelings--feelings that never seem absent from the apostle--the most intense faith in the gospel and the most intense fear for it. No shadow of doubt crossed his mind that it was God’s gospel, and that the whole power of God went with it; and yet he was filled with fear for it and its success in the world. This seems a strange... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Colossians 2:6

a. Conclusion based upon their experience of salvation. 6. Ye… received Christ Jesus the Lord In this statement of fact the argument culminates. It appeals to their experience. They received the doctrine of Christ from Epaphras, they received Christ himself into their hearts by faith, and it was that Christ the Lord, Creator, and Saviour, who is so fully described in the preceding chapter. They had therein found their soul’s salvation. Their experience verified the doctrine, and... read more
