Today we conclude our journey through Paul’s letter to the church at Colossae. Once Paul becomes a new creation his life is devoted to the gospel ministry. As he writes his closing remarks to the Colossians he urges them to be devoted to a life of ministry as well. Today we see the importance of prayer, evangelism, a godly lifestyle, a gracious tongue and fellowship. May these be more than just mere closing remarks, but truly influential words to train us up in righteousness for God’s glory and your joy.
