ceremonies helped the people look into the future for salvation in Christ.

A body casts a shadow but the shadow has no substance. Those were looking TOWARD Christ.ģ) Paul states here that they were only a shadow of things to come but the body is of Christ. False teachers wanted to add to Christ’s provisionsġ) They insisted that the Christians keep ceremonial rules regarding eating and drinking in a portion of a feast, or new moon festival or Sabbaths.Ģ) In the Old Testament, God gave the Jews ceremonial rules for the meals associated with feasts and Sabbaths. We need not DO anything except repentantly believe.ģ) Peter Pett states, “Paul now stresses that because of the victory of Jesus Christ on the cross all ritual requirements has been done away.”ī. “Therefore” refers to the previous section.ġ) Christ gave us many Spiritual Provisions.Ī) He gave us a new circumcision (v.11-12)Ĭ) He enabled our victory over sin (v.15)Ģ) Therefore, these provisions from Christ are all that we need for salvation. Transition: In this section, Paul warns the Colossae believers and us of three things we must not do. We are saved by repentant faith in Christ alone. Paul wrote in Romans 3:20, “Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.” We are not saved by what we DO. It is part of the human nature to want to “DO” something to make us acceptable to God.
