Devotional: Colossians 1:9-14

Today’s passage: Colossians 1:9-14

Helpful thoughts:

  • Overall, this passage defines a wonderfully lived Christian life!
  • Right thinking (in all spiritual wisdom and understanding) leads to right living (walking in a manner worthy).
  • With all the great qualities this kind of life would hold, our qualification to enter the eternal kingdom is not something we have earned.  It was given to us!
    • God qualified us.
    • God delivered us.
    • God transferred us.
    • God redeemed us.
    • God forgave us.

Questions to consider:

  1. What were we delivered from and what have we been delivered to?  Why did we need deliverance?  How did God bring our deliverance about?
  2. What aspects of this passage seem to bring the believer joy?  What things produce thanksgiving?
  3. Why does it make so much sense that a sinner saved by grace would want to “walk in a manner” that is worthy and pleasing to the Lord?  Why will every true Christian be compelled to grow and follow Christ?
