We continue our series in Colossians by looking at Colossians 2:6-8:
So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in Him, rooted and built up in Him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness. See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the elemental spiritual forces of this world, rather than on Christ.
Here, Paul gets to the heart of why he wrote this letter. The church was wrestling with what he calls “empty philosophies” rooted in “human traditions” and the “elemental spiritual forces of this world”—ideas that were beginning to capture their attention and pull them away from Christ.
