Present Privileges Of The Believers In Christ

An exposition of the four verses informed for the "Believers' Present Privileges in Christ". In Paul's
submission, he was encouraged at the Colossian response of love and tenacious faith reported of, to him
by Epaphras. However, in the midst of encouragement, the apostle Paul was concerned over the false
teachings and the measure of damage falsehood potentially had inflicted upon the congregation (2v4 –
23). Paul reminds us that our justified position needs to be in synch with our practice of Christianity. Paul
writes to warn believers and but also to point out to them things that are of eternal value, encouraging
them to ceaselessly keep seeking (3v1) and keep setting their minds on these things (3v2). The
exhortation is that, believers are to take responsibility and think with heavenly thoughts; because the
believers are united with Christ. And when Christ shall appear, they too with Christ, shall appear at the
appointed time (3v4). Christ is presently seated and reigning in power and might, in the heavenlies. Christ
is interceding and mediating still. Christ remains yet, an unceasing resource (3v1), from whom strength,
life and vitality flows and can be derived. Paul spurred them and spurs every present Christians to take
responsibility, and ensure we align our conducts be in proposition to our status, our union with Christ.
