Mature Growth (Col. 2:6-7)
- A disciple must have deep roots to experience mature growth.
- Walking with Christ is characterized by steady progress in discipleship.
Biblical Doctrine (Col. 2:8-10)
- Believers are kidnapped by unbiblical doctrine once they begin to believe that Jesus is insufficient.
- If Jesus is completely God, then we are complete in Him.
Complete Forgiveness (Col. 2:11-14)
- If salvation is completely God’s work, then I must experience God’s complete forgiveness.
- If you can’t accept that all of your sins are forgiven, then why did Jesus die on the cross?
Total Victory (Col. 2:15)
- The cross was the defeat of Satan – not the defeat of Jesus.
- Stop giving Satan back the authority that Jesus took from him on the cross.
Next Step:
- What about this sermon am I struggling to accept?
- In which doctrinal areas do I need to water my roots?
- How many of my sins are forgiven?
