The Epistle to The Colossians, Chapter 1
Part 5 of 5

Back to Colossians 1
This is why there are so many attacks about the person
and work of Christ. Not just the work on he cross,
but His current work, through the person of the Holy
Spirit operating in and through the church. As I said
already, "In establishing the greatness of salvation,
Paul established also the greatness of the person from
whom this salvation came, Jesus Christ."
All matters relative to this marvelous salvation rest
in the greatness of the person who gave it. Many
people have ignored this fact, to the hurt of their

start to finish, salvation is always and forever,
Jesus Christ. In Christ we have redemption through

redemption, through His blood that we have fellowship
and a relationship with God.
The second foundational truth relative to who Jesus

undoubtedly, is the most attacked truth in the history
of the church. Yet, an ...
