As Paul closes his letter to the Colossian Church, we are given examples of individuals who exemplify the new life we are called to live in this book.

The apostle not only shows how to live the new life with believers, but also with outsiders as well.

Living the New life in Christ involves how we treat our family, our closest relationships.

As Christians, we no longer live for ourselves, but for each other as we learn to forgive and love each other.

As Believers, we must put to death the old, sinful patterns in our lives and pursue the resurrected life in Christ.

If we are true believers, we should now live for the things that are above, not the things of this earth.

Paul warns of the dangers of choosing religious observances over Christ.

Paul speaks of who we now are because of the work of Christ on the cross on our behalf.

Paul Encourages the Church to stay anchored to Christ and not to be deceived by worldly philosophies.

Paul desires that the Colossian Church would realize that they need nothing but Christ alone.
