'Sticky to Spotless'

As Paul encourages the Colossians he is encouraging us, don't get distracted, don't get knocked off course by the false teachers around you- stand firm in the wonderful truth of the Gospel. No matter where he goes, Paul doesn't change his message, because the Gospel doesn't change.

We were once distant from God because of our sin, but instead of discarding us and punishing us, God sent His son Jesus to the earth, to live the perfect life, and then to die and rise again so we might be free from our sin. We're not cut off from God any more as we once were, but presented without blemish - holy and blameless. So that one day when this life has passed, if we stand firm in Him, we can be presented to God as Holy, as clean and without blemish, as blameless- free from accusation…as His.

  1. Cut off from God
  2. Washed clean by God
  3. Standing firm in God
