Colossians centers everything on Christ’s supremacy and shows how union with Him reshapes worship, holiness, family, and work. The letter arms believers against substitutes by rooting joy, mission, and hope in the Lord who will soon appear in glory.

Paul dismantles hollow captivities by centering us on Christ, in whom all God’s fullness dwells and in whom believers are brought to fullness. Union with Him cancels our debt, disarms powers, and frees us from rules that cannot change the heart.
