Introduction of Colossians

Colossians, written by Paul from prison around AD 60–62, counters false teachings threatening the church at Colossae. It presents the supreme majesty of Christ as Creator, Sustainer, and Redeemer. Paul urges the believers to focus on Christ’s sufficiency rather than legalism or mystical practices. The letter balances high Christology with practical instructions for Christian households and daily living.
