Colossians 1. We seem to know better what God does not rather than who He is. Thrones and dominions are visible. Surrendering the throne of your life to Him is a picture of what is happening in heaven. Daniel 2:20-23 “He removes kinds and raises up kings”. Daniel 2: 37-38; 44. Principalities and powers are invisible.

Colossians 1:15-19. Verse 15 is highly abused and is the foundation verse of cults. The old KJV poorly translated as “the firstborn of all creatures”. Some use this to redefine Jesus as the first creature to become a god. They teach that man can become a demigod. Jesus did not BECOME God; He always was God. They convince many believers to follow their religion because the believers are ill-equipped and not properly trained to recognize error. The image of God is His authority over His creation to choose, which He granted to man. God revealed Himself as His voice until Hagar was the first to see God. God’s voice walked in the garden and they heart Him and hid. Samuel heard God calling Him and went to Eli. Verse 16 shows that Jesus is eternal God and has authority over thrones, dominions, powers, and principalities. Satan was jealous that God gave man authority over their own realm. Jesus invades man’s realm to offer a way back under God’s authority by our choice. If you are drawn away to another gospel, you will fall away and lose your hope.

Colossians 1:9-14. Paul’s prayer. The motivation to be fully pleasing to Him is gratitude. We are in debt to God. We do not qualify for heaven and cannot undo sin, but God qualified us as saints at a great cost to Himself. Verse 13, we were owned by darkness and God conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son (transfer of ownership). All Satan can say is, “I used to own this person, but not since he was saved by Christ”. Sin is a weed that steals water, nutrients, and sunlight. Or sin is debt and why would you want to add to your debt. Redeemed means to buy back. You are redeemed or bought at a price.

Colossians 1:9-14. Paul’s intercessory prayer for the Colossians. Paul had three categories in his prayer. We should not lose our drive to aim high to do better for God just because we are doing more than before. Paul did not give up or stop after his stoning or imprisonment. He did not stop until he saw God face to face. There is no room for mediocracy in Christianity. Wisdom is truth in action based on God’s perspective rather than man’s perspective. The ten commandments is the minimum standard to show that you are a sinner, but we should want to fully please Him. Acts 14:21-23. Daniel 7:25. Rwanda is refusing the expression of their faith and the USA is attacking the foundation of the Bible and what is truth. It is a wearing out of the saints. We should stand fast without compromise to endure with patience and long suffering.

Colossians 1.This gospel has come to you freely at a cost to others. Sending out the gospel requires a lot of prayer. Men gave one penny and said, “You are one cent” (The one sent in my place). With the spreading of the gospel also comes more opposition and violence. Acts 19:18-20, 23-31. Paul turns people away from idols and silversmiths stir up the people to shout “Great is Diana!” If we have no opposition, we are not having an impact and are timid. The greatest danger to the gospel is error within the church. The gospel will go out despite the violence or Islam and communism. But internal wolves devour the sheep. Satan comes into the church and poisons the truth.
