In this week’s message, entitled “The Big ‘If’ in Life”, we examined Colossians 1:21-23. We heard how God has reconciled to himself those who were once alienated from him. To better understand this reality and make application in our lives, let us consider these questions:
- When did you first understand that you were one of those listed in Colossians 1:21? What effect did this understanding have on you?
- How has the idea of being reconciled to God shaped your view of God’s saving work?
- Colossians 1:22 says that Christians will be presented holy and blameless and above reproach before God. How real is this to you? How can you better lay hold of this reality?
- Have you seen Colossians 1:23, or verses like it, as works that you must live out to measure up, or a work that God does in you as a Christian? What is the difference and why is this difference so important?
- Does Colossians 1:23 describe your life? If so, then how is this an occasion for worship? If not, then how is God calling you to respond to him?
Let’s give thanks this week that God has reconciled us to him and continues to work in our lives that we may stand firm in our faith!
