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!
