Exploring Colossians

Más información sobre el libro

The letter addresses the threats posed by religious legalism and human philosophy to the faith of Christians in Colossae. Legalism promotes adherence to rules to please God, appealing to human nature over divine grace, while philosophy prioritizes human wisdom over God's will. Both approaches undermine the Lordship of Jesus Christ by emphasizing human sufficiency and independence from God. The text emphasizes that any belief system that encourages self-reliance, regardless of its appearance, is ultimately misleading and counterfeit.
