In his letter to the Colossians, Paul prayed that his readers might be filled with a knowledge of God’s will, be fruitful in good works, and be strengthened by His power for endurance. Alistair Begg points out that Paul always reminded people of their identity in Christ—that in Him they had been qualified, delivered, and transferred to His kingdom. We, too, have been justified by grace through faith. By this we are accepted by God. May we celebrate this deliverance with joy!
9And so, rfrom the day we heard, swe have not ceased to pray for you, asking that tyou may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all uspiritual wisdom and understanding, 10so as vto walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, wfully pleasing to him: xbearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God; 11ybeing strengthened with all power, according to his glorious might, for zall endurance and patience awith joy; 12bgiving thanks4 to the Father, who has qualified you5 to share in cthe inheritance of the saints in light. 13He dhas delivered us from ethe domain of darkness and transferred us to fthe kingdom of ghis beloved Son, 14hin whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.
