Colossians 1:27 Riches in Christ - Thursday Bible Study
This sermon explores the theological mystery of Christ dwelling in believers, identified as the hope of glory for both Jews and Gentiles. It argues against Calvinist interpretations of election, emphasizing instead that God's long-suffering with Israel opened the door for the Gentiles to receive the riches of His grace. The text highlights the believer's status as a chosen generation and royal priesthood, made nigh to God by the blood of Christ, which removes all barriers of sin and enmity. The preacher stresses that salvation is a work of divine grace that transforms the inner man, enabling believers to walk in good works and comprehend the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge. Ultimately, the sermon presents the unsearchable riches of Christ as the source of spiritual power, holiness, and eternal hope for all who believe.
