Because conflict in the church is happening, and Paul (the planter of churches) is writing to address those issues help them through those conflicts.THEME OF COLOSSIANS:The overarching theme of this book is how Christ is in all things, and the ramifications of that for us.Most commentators agree that perhaps someone in the church was teaching different rituals and superstitions for a “different level” of faith, a “Jesus plus ‘this ritual’” – and Paul is returning the church to this true doctrine, that Jesus is ALL. There is nothing else we must add to our faith. Jesus is ALL.LET’S READ TOGETHER: Colossians 1:3-7 - 3 We always thank God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, when we pray for you, 4 because we have heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of the love you have for all God’s people— 5 the faith and love that spring from the hope stored up for you in heaven and about which you have already heard in the true message of the gospel 6 that has come to you. In the same way, the gospel is bearing fruit and growing throughout the whole world—just as it has been doing among you since the day you heard it and truly understood God’s grace.WANT MORE?
