Galatians Through Colossians

The apostle Paul wasn’t a superhero. He just had God on the inside. In these letters to the churches which he planted, he tells us the secrets of his fruitful ministry. He shows us that the Gospel means that we can have God on the inside too. He doesn’t tell us to admire his fruitfulness. He tells us how we can become like him. God inspired the Bible for a reason. He wants you read it and let it change your life. If you are willing to take this challenge seriously, then you will love Phil Moore’s devotional commentaries. Their bite-sized chapters are punchy and relevant, yet crammed with fascinating scholarship. Welcome to a new way of reading the Bible. Welcome to the Straight to the Heart series.

The crucial books of Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, and Colossians are short but truly profound. While providing a complete vision of Christ, they also give us the key to knowing and experiencing Christ in a full way. In The Experience of Christ in Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, and Colossians, Witness Lee opens up the central revelation at the heart of the New Testament by considering these books in the order of the believers' experience: Colossians unveils the all-inclusive Christ who is everything to God and to the believers. Galatians shows that Christ must be very subjective to us, living in us and even being formed in us. Philippians gives us the secret of experiencing and partaking of Christ. Lastly, Ephesians reveals that the issue, the result, of the experience of Christ is the church. Book jacket.

The Knowing the Bible series is a resource designed to help Bible readers better understand and apply God’s Word. These 12-week study lead participants through books of the Bible and are made up of four basic components: (1) Reflection questions help readers engage the text at a deeper level; (2) “Gospel Glimpses” highlight the gospel of grace throughout the book; (3) “Whole-Bible Connections” show how any given passage connects to the Bible’s overarching story of redemption, culminating in Christ; and (4) “Theological Soundings” identify how historic orthodox doctrines are taught or reinforced throughout Scripture. With contributions from an array of influential pastors and church leaders, these gospel-centered studies will help Christians see and cherish the message of God’s grace on each and every page of the Bible. The books of Colossians and Philemon complement each other as two New Testament texts that gloriously display the gospel and its implications for how God’s people should live today. Written around the same time, both letters resonate with the apostle Paul’s overriding passion to magnify Jesus Christ as the supreme manifestation of God’s redemptive purposes.
