Hold Onto Truth - Part 4
Aug 6, 2023 • Doug Durette
The core of Paul's message is to counter the idea that salvation requires additional actions or secret knowledge. Instead, he emphasizes that salvation is a free gift through faith in Christ, not achieved through human efforts. Jesus' sacrifice on the cross forgives sins and reconciles humanity with God, defeating Satan and offering freedom from sin's grip.
Paul encourages the Colossians to remain rooted in Christ and His gospel, knowing that through faith, they are united with Him, lacking nothing they need for life and godliness. He urges them not to be deceived by empty philosophies and human traditions but to trust in the victorious outcome secured through Jesus' sacrifice.
