Scripture: Colossians 1:24-2:24
If we’ve been made new in Jesus Christ – received that new identity in him that he talks about in Colossians 1 – well then what? We discover we’re not only set free from the penalty of sin, but also set free from slavery to it. So how do we grow? Does our experience of trusting Jesus lead us deeper into him or – beyond him to something else? In Colossians 2, Paul is keen to warn a church he loves about the wrong ways they will be tempted to grow. The answer isn’t adding to faith in Jesus, but trusting him more and more.
