Christ” - Colossians 2:6-10

How Do I Prepare Myself
For False Teaching?
(6) Therefore, as you received Christ
Jesus the Lord, so walk in him, (7) rooted and built up in him and established
in the faith, just as you were taught, abounding in thanksgiving. NASB –
(7) having been firmly rooted and
now being built up in Him and
established in your faith, just as you were instructed, and overflowing
with gratitude."
1. Establish deep roots
in Christ.
2. Continually be edified in
Christ.
3. Develop convictions about
Christ.
4. Ooziate with thanksgiving
toward Christ.
What Dangerous
Philosophies Should I Be Concerned About?
(8) See to it that no one takes you
captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according
to the elemental spirits of the world, and not according to Christ.
1. Their origin based on human
tradition.
2. Their content based on the creation
rather than the Creator.
Why Is Christ The Remedy
Against Error and The Standard of Truth?
(9) For in him the whole fullness of
deity dwells bodily,
(10) and you have been filled in him,
who is the head of all rule and authority.
1. His Deity.
2. His Substance.
Guide for Discussion: Colossians 2:6-10 – 6/12/2011
1)
The Christian life is compared to
a journey (v. 6 and earlier in 1:10 - “walk”). In Ephesians look up Eph. 2:2, 10;
4:1, 17; 5:2, 8, 15. What do you learn in these verses about the Christian
journey by the image of “walking” used by the apostle Paul?
2)
Read 1 John 3:1-3. Focus in on
verse two. What do you think the phrase “we shall be like him, because we shall
see him as he is” means?
3)
In what ways according to
Colossians 1:6-10 can we be strengthened in Christ-centered thinking?
4)
In what ways can you recognize the
false philosophies that Christians buy into today?
