Colossians 1:1-8
"Greetings" & "Thanksgiving"
Paul opens up this letter by giving thanks to God for the church at Colosse. What is the reason, however, that he is thankful?
Paul is thankful that the church has faith in God, shows love for one another, and stores hope in heaven. Paul is giving thanksgiving for faith, hope, and love. (side note: see 1 Cor 13:13) these three have appeared in numerous other accounts: fruit of the spirit, armor of God, the above verse.
Similarly, we need to be thankful for those around us who grow in their walk with Christ.
