The house that God wants to build is different from the world and culture around us. In a world and culture that is tribal, our church body should be a place that is diverse culturally, economically, and generationally.

In this passage Paul continues to show how Christ has a new plan and way of living for me. This extends to how slaves relate to their masters and how masters relate to their slaves. Embedded in the whole conversation is a new understanding of our work and our reward

Our miraculous transformation in Christ does not just impact us, or our relationship to our church body - but it starts at home. The true test of our sanctification is taking place at home, with what our families see in us and how we love and treat one another.

Paul has encouraged the Colossian believers with a message to God to put their sin to death, taking off their old “clothes” and lives tainted by sin.  He now turns to what it is that they’re meant to wear instead, encouraging them to put on the love of Christ, the peace of Christ, and the Word of Christ. 

In this passage Paul writes to the Colossian Christians to remind them of the deadly battle that will continue to daily be fought in their lives. They will need to put to death their sexual and social sins, on account of which God’s wrath is coming. They will need to be reminded that their old self is dead, take off those dead man’s clothes and put on the new identity purchased for us by Christ.

Paul begins to get into the meat of false teachers doctrine that is plaguing the Colossian church. He says that they don’t need to worry about what to eat or drink or what religious ceremonies and festivals to observe, they need to hold on to Christ. The false teachers claimed a higher wisdom, brought on by observing religious rules that allowed them spiritual experiences - Paul says they are not from Christ.
