“He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love” (Colossians 1:13)
Following the word Paul preached to the saints in Colosse, who had learned the gospel of the water and the Spirit from Epaphras, this book explains Jesus Christ, in whom all the fullness of the Godhead dwells bodily, the circumcision made without hands, and the life of the new man who seeks the things above. Because Jesus, who had the sin of the world transferred to Him through the baptism He received from John, received its judgment by shedding His blood on the Cross and rose again from death, we who believe this have escaped from the power of darkness. I hope that you will discover in the Book of Colossians what kind of kingdom the kingdom of the Son is, into which the Father has conveyed us.
