We continued with Paul's theme of the sufficiency of God the Son. In Colossians 2:20-23, he is continuing to tell the church that anything we add to Christianity re-enslaves us. We have already died with Christ and He is all we need. Additions such as asceticism will feed the prideful sin nature. It may sound good or even wise, but it provides no value in the battle against sin.
My challenge to you this week is to write one sentence that summarizes the basic principle of godliness. Use the Basic Principles that we looked up during class and create a one sentence summary.
We will share our one sentence summaries as a group during our next Life Group mtg.
Be Intentional.
