Take Aways:

1. Paul warned the Colossians to reject legalism which wrongly condemns and enslaves believers by emphasizing works rather than trusting in the sufficiency of Christ—“Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith apart from the deeds of the law.” Romans 3:28

2. Paul reminded the Colossians of their liberty from the law, that they might live fully unto Christ—“Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage.” Galatians 5:1
