Fullness of Life in Christ
Colossians 2:6-19
6 As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in him.
7 Rooted and built in him, and established in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving. 8 Beware lest there be any man that spoil you through philosophy, and vain deceit, through the traditions of men, according to the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. 9 For in him dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodily. 10 And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power. 11 In whom also ye are circumcised with circumcision made without hands, by putting off the sinful body of the flesh, through the circumcision of Christ, 12 In that ye are buried with him through baptism, in whom ye are also raised up together through the faith of the operation of God, which raised him from the dead. 13 And you which were dead in sins, and in the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, forgiving you all your trespasses, 14 And putting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, he even took it out of the way, and fastened it upon the cross, 15 And hath spoiled the Principalities, and Powers, and hath made a shew of them openly, and hath triumphed over them in the same cross. 16 Let no man therefore condemn you in meat and drink, or in respect of an holy day, or of the new moon, or of the Sabbath days, 17 Which are but a shadow of things to come; but the body is in Christ. 18 Let no man at his pleasure bear rule over you by humbleness of mind, and worshipping of Angels, advancing himself in those things which he never saw, rashly puffed up with his fleshly mind, 19 And holdeth not the head, whereof all the body furnished and knit together by joints and bands, increaseth with the increasing of God.
