TSK · Colossians 1:5

Lasting Treasure“Do not accumulate for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and devouring insect destroy and where thieves break in and steal.

You know the message he sent to the people of Israel, proclaiming the good news of peace through Jesus Christ(he is Lord of all)–

Then when Paul noticed that part of them were Sadducees and the others Pharisees, he shouted out in the council,“Brothers, I am a Pharisee, a son of Pharisees. I am on trial concerning the hope of the resurrection of the dead!”

And now I stand here on trial because of my hope in the promise made by God to our ancestors,

And now these three remain: faith, hope, and love. But the greatest of these is love.

In other words, in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting people’s trespasses against them, and he has given us the message of reconciliation.

For through the Spirit, by faith, we wait expectantly for the hope of righteousness.

– since the eyes of your heart have been enlightened– so that you can know what is the hope of his calling, what is the wealth of his glorious inheritance in the saints,

God wanted to make known to them the glorious riches of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.

And so we too constantly thank God that when you received God’s message that you heard from us, you accepted it not as a human message, but as it truly is, God’s message, which is at work among you who believe.

This saying is trustworthy and deserves full acceptance:“Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners”– and I am the worst of them!

in hope of eternal life, which God, who does not lie, promised before time began.

New Birth to Joy and Holiness Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! By his great mercy he gave us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

But set Christ apart as Lord in your hearts and always be ready to give an answer to anyone who asks about the hope you possess.
