Colossians 1:21-23 / Colin Rueter

21 And you, who once were alienated and hostile in mind, doing evil deeds, 22 he has now reconciled in his body of flesh by his death, in order to present you holy and blameless and above reproach before him, 23 if indeed you continue in the faith, stable and steadfast, not shifting from the hope of the gospel that you heard, which has been proclaimed in all creation under heaven, and of which I, Paul, became a minister.

This Sunday, we’ll take a closer look at Colossians 1:23 and the powerful reminder that Christ has reconciled us to God and secured our future in Him. But what does it mean to truly continue in the faith? Can we have confidence that we will make it to glory? Whether you’re walking through hardship or simply drifting in the comfort of everyday life, Paul exhorts us to fix our eyes again on Jesus, our treasure, and to persevere with a steady, joy-filled faith grounded in the unshakable hope of the gospel.
