Jesus is Lord, Studies in the Book of Colossians Lance Ketchum

The intent of the Epistle to the Colossians is to teach believers about the corrupting influence of three false practices - Legalism, Asceticism, and Mysticism. The epistle warns against all forms of process salvation, which contradict the "born again" believer's completeness in Christ. Every Christian must be warned - "Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ" (Colossians 2:8)." The Epistle to the Colossians is one of the most important books in the Bible for dealing with the ever growing corruptions infiltrating the churches of the Lord Jesus Christ. Understanding this epistle is essential to the doctrinal and practical purity of all local churches. This book will prove useful for Adult and Teen Sunday school classes, Small Group studies, men's or women's Bible studies, Bible Colleges, and Bible institutes.
