Christian Conduct

As we have discovered, the Book of Colossians is written for Christians. It has
many instructions for believers on how to live out the Christian life. He's telling us
to live it out, and he's telling us how to live it out. As we walk in Christ, we will
become more Christ-like. And we've learned that we can only do this successfully
by walking "in Christ" through the power of the Holy Spirit.
Paul let us know that legalism doesn't do it. There is no power in rule-keeping.
Hyper-Spiritualism isn't what is needed either. That's when people try to "out
spiritualize" each other by talking about visions, dreams, and special knowledge
they might claim to have (that YOU DON'T HAVE). He's telling the Church in
Colossae how to WALK THE WALK AND HOW TO WALK THE TALK.
