IN THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE KING

A Study in 2nd and 3rd John
In the epistles of John we see a common theme of a fellowship shared by believers and the Lord. This fellowship is forged in conflict, against dark and sinister forces, as faith is tested and refined. The touchstone of the fellowship is found in the truth, and that truth centers in the glorious person and work of the Lord Jesus Christ. To hold to this truth against all odds, all deception, and all temptation is to win a place among the ranks of those who value the fellowship of the King. It is an old story.

This compilation of notes represents the truths found in the Epistles of Second and Third John.

Colossians Lesson 16

Colossians Lesson 16

In Christ; we are more than conquerors; we are children of the King for eternity; we are free and stand in Grace; Satan has been defeated (Col 2:15). However; we can 'fall from Grace (Gal 5:4)' through religiosity. Modern church has lost its connection to The Head; Christ (Col 2:19).'Religious reversionism' starts with criticism; judging (Col 2:16) and peer pressure (Col 2:18). Paul preached against it in Gal 2:1-5 (Rom 14:5) emphasizing freedom (Gal 5:1-5) but fell prey to it in Act 15:1-2; and Act 21:15-26.

From Series: "Colossians - 2006"

Paul never met the Colossians but wrote to them from a Roman prison around 62 AD to counter misconceptions of his day. It magnifies the character of Jesus Christ more than any other book in the New Testament, and counters misconceptions of our day as well. The key verse may well be Col 1:18 "...that in all things, He might have preeminence."
