    INTRODUCTION TO COLOSSIANS (Part 2):

    IV. THE THEME OF COLOSSIANS:

    The Believer's Perfection in Christ. The focus of the book is the completeness of a person who is in Christ.

    Colossians was written to combat the many heresies of Jewish Gnosticism.

    GNOSTICISM BELIEVED:

    God is good.

    Physical matter is evil.

    Jesus Christ is less than God because He was one of many emanations coming out from God.

    A certain secret knowledge beyond Scripture was necessary for enlightenment and salvation.

    In the worship of angels.

    THE JEWISH LEGALISTS BELIEVED:

    The necessity of circumcision for salvation.

    Jews and Gentiles must observe the dietary laws of the Old Testament as well as festivals and the Sabbath.

    V. DATE/BACKGROUND:

    Written around 63 A.D. while Paul was under house arrest in Rome for two years ( Acts 28:16-31).

    One of four prison epistles or letters: Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, and Philemon.

    VI. DELIVERED BY:

    Colossians was delivered with Ephesians and Philemon by Tychicus who was accompanied by Onesimus ( Ephesians 6:21-22; Colossians 4:7-8).

    Epaphras remained behind in Rome ( Philemon 23).

    VII. SECTION OUTLINE OF THE BOOK OF COLOSSIANS:

    CHAPTERS 1-2: The Doctrine of Completeness in Christ

    CHAPTERS 3-4: The Duty of Those Complete in Christ

    I will share my introduction to 1 Thessalonians soon.

    God Bless!!!
