Colossians 2:16-2:23

You Are Complete in Christ - Part 2

We?re continuing our journey through the book of Colossians, and once again, we see the incredible inspired word of God coming through in this letter from Paul to the church in Colossae. Colossians chapter two has much to say about false teachers and the true source of security and happiness- our Lord Jesus Christ. With the advent and exponential growth of social media, false teachers are having a great influence on millions of people. What to do? This is part two of You are Complete in Christ.

  1. Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:
  2. Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.
  3. Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,
  4. And not holding the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God.
  5. Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances,
  6. (Touch not; taste not; handle not;
  7. Which all are to perish with the using;) after the commandments and doctrines of men?
  8. Which things have indeed a shew of wisdom in will worship, and humility, and neglecting of the body: not in any honour to the satisfying of the flesh.
