Top Highlights
“The focus is more on separation than sanctity (although the former should always lead to the latter). It has in view more one’s position than purity.” (Page 20)
“If it is ‘by the will of God’ that Paul speaks in this letter, then it is ‘the will of God’ that we heed and embrace all he says in it.” (Page 18)
“In the first place, this was an expression of his entire theological perspective. He became a Christian ‘by the will of God.’ His authority as an apostle is ‘by the will of God.’ The power of his ministry, whether in teaching or healing the sick, is ‘by the will of God.’” (Page 17)
“On the other hand, if Paul believed, and I believe he did, that God was ultimately the source for their trust in Jesus and their affection toward one another, it makes perfectly good sense for him to express his gratitude to God each time he prays for these Christians.” (Page 28)
“Paul’s aim in praying for the Colossians to be filled with spiritual wisdom and insight is so that they might be energized in the daily mortification of sin and the cultivation of spiritual fruit and good works.” (Page 55)
Many devotional books lack biblical and theological depth. Storms’s work is a striking exception. His meditations on Colossians faithfully communicate the message of the letter so that readers are enriched both biblically and theologically. Moreover, the meaning of Colossians is applied with wisdom and power so that I found myself encouraged, convicted, and challenged. Here is evangelical theology at its best.
