Warning and Teaching

Read Colossians 1:24-29

Reflection of Tommy:

Christianity is not a private and exclusive club for those few privileged people that has reached spiritual perfection. God doesn’t play favoritism and His love and the Good News of salvation is available and open to all. Thus, we should never limit our sharing to only those few we like and of our ‘kind’.

In verse 28 to 29, Paul showed to us an effective way to present the gospel to others. Our sharing should include “admonishing” (warning) and “teaching”. The “warning” is that without Christ, people are doomed to eternal separation from God. While the “teaching” part is about there is still hope and that salvation is available through faith in Christ.

Dear Father, thank You for reminding me that Your ‘secret plan’ was not hidden and is made open to all, that Jesus Christ is to live in the hearts of all those who believe in Him. Guide me through the Holy Spirit to tell others about Christ, warning and teaching them with tact and in love. Thank You and I pray this in Jesus’ Name, Amen.
