Colossians 1 - Notes

[hobbit_mage]

Personal Summary - Colossians 1:1-12

1. Grace and peace come from the Father.
2. The gospel, when heard and understood, brings fruit.
3. When you hear of the gospel bearing fruit in someone:

• 1) Be an "informer" like Epaphras, give good reports of what you see God doing in others (type of edifying)
• 2) Pray for the that person, seeing fruit should lead to intercession.

Pray for:

• Knowledge of God's will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding (Prov. 24:3-4)

Why: So that they will walk in a manner worthy of Christ.

• To please Him completely
• To bear MORE fruit
• To increase in the knowledge of God
• To be strengthened with power ACC to God's Might

Why2: So that they will be filled with steadfastness, patience, joy, and thanks.
