Sorry this post was SOOO delayed…again the story of my life lately.
verse 6 speaks of “receiving Jesus as Lord.” What has this meant for those of you brought up in conversion -oriented churches? What does this mean in light of the rest of the Bible and your experience?
This passage presents Christ completing all things necessary for relationship with God. What are we tempted to add to Christ?
The phrase “fullness of deity” implies for some people that Jesus is divine, and it doesn’t imply this for other people. Discuss.
APPLY: How do we more fully live into the reality presented in vv 9-15? That we are alive in Christ? That that which stood against us has been taken away? That the powers and authorities have been disarmed?
