Questions for Further Study or Group Discussion
- Read Colossians 2:6-7 and the surrounding context (2:1-15). What is Paul’s concern for the Colossian church, i.e. what was the danger they were facing? Do we face any sort of danger like this?
- How do the command and encouragements found in verses 6-7 help the Colossians to fight the “Colossian heresy”?
- Explain the grammar of the single sentence in verses 6-7. How does thanksgiving connect with our “walk” in the Lord? Why should thanksgiving be “natural” for Christians?
- Compare Colossians 2:6-7 with Paul’s prayer in Colossians 1:9-12. What parallels are there? Why is it significant that Paul prays for what he commands?
