Colossians 1. The church is often criticized for its lack of love shown toward each other. Being born again through faith, you are born into a new family whether you choose to acknowledge them or not. As family, we have a responsibility toward each other. A church membership is a covenant commitment to this certain group. What is biblical love? A commitment to someone else. Love is not about feelings or your needs being met. You can love someone mean and hateful. We make a commitment to accumulate material things and love the world instead of God. Jesus said, if you love your earthly family more than Me, you are not worthy of Me. The five love languages are based on affection rather than biblical love. You can love when there is no affection. Love is thankfulness, obedience, dependability, service, and sacrifice. God loved us first. He gave His son to die for us.

Colossians 1. Grace is the unmerited favor of God that we did not earn or deserve. Grace varies from mercy. Mercy is the removal of consequences. Mercy does not require us to pay the price for our sin. God wanted to do more than show mercy toward us, but to give us grace. Col 3:16 Singing shows thankfulness with grace in our hearts. We do not just receive God’s grace, but we need to be cooperative with it. Col 4:6 It should be a pattern of our speech to be gracious to one another. I can still communicate truth in a manner that shows genuine love and concern for them. We should greet each other with the desire for you to have God’s favor in your life. Peace of God in your life is tied to your prayer life. Col 3:15 “Let the peace of God rule in your hearts…” Col 1:20 “..having made peace through the blood of His cross.”

Colossians 1. Epaphras started the church in Colossi and Paul wanted to enforce his position with his eye witness report of Christ. Verse 2, the word saints means holy ones or set apart -those who believe in the truth and make it their life/identity. Faithful brethren are those who endure until the end. You would not be called a faithful husband if you were faithful for 30 years of marriage and strayed after 30 years. You must endure to the end to be told “well done, good and faithful servant”. We evaluate based on God’s word as the standard for having fellowship as brethren. Those who respond to the truth become saints by the work of God in them because God makes them holy. Some acknowledge the truth, but do not accept or believe it. In the book of Colossians, we will look at how we can sustain faithfulness in our relationship with God as saints and relationships with each other as faithful brethren.
