Christ suffered to bring salvation to all who believe. Now, as Paul teaches the Colossians, it is our joy to join in Christ's suffering to spread salvation to the whole world.

Continuing to lay out the basics, Paul reminds the Colossians that they we once enemies of God but are no longer thanks to the blood of Christ.

Near the opening of the letter to the Colossians, Paul makes sure they know who Jesus is: God with us.
