Colossians 1

Colossians 1:3 · Jim Cassidy

And we particularly see it open up in Colossians 1, verses 3 through 8 is a prayer of thanksgiving. And I think it’s noteworthy that Paul begins his time of prayer with thanksgiving, that he doesn’t go right into, as it were, the prayer requests, but he does open up rejoicing in the redemption that

Colossians 1:9 · Jim Cassidy

And then I’m on to Mr. Jones, and I pray that God would heal him of his cold that he has this week. And, you know, but listen to what Paul says, the way he prays. Colossians 1, verse 9, just as an example, we could go through the whole book here, but chapter 1, verse 9 says this. And so from the day

Colossians 1:11 · Camden Bucey

That’s very insightful and very encouraging. In line with that, thinking about how our prayers might take shape in light of biblical suffering and in light of the entire canon, I’m reminded of Colossians 1.11, where that’s a prayer that Paul makes on behalf of the Colossians. But he’s also praying f

Colossians 1:14 · Jeff Waddington

Correct. That’s correct. Now, the New Testament discussion of the atonement as redemption with regard to the plight from which we are ransomed, it talks in terms of forgiveness of sins. Ephesians 1.7, Colossians 1.14, and Hebrews 9.15 all deal with forgiveness of sins. Deliverance from divine condem

the Christ who has revealed himself in redemptive history, and the Christ whose mind we know by the Spirit working through the Word. So when we’re thinking in terms of a presuppositional approach to apologetics, we’re thinking about what Van Til’s offering, and we’re trying to focus it in terms of C

Colossians 1:15 · Lane G. Tipton

That gets you into the acts of God in himself from all eternity, wholly apart from anything that God does in relation to creation. The son is the word from the father, John. The son is the wisdom from the father, 1 Corinthians 1. The son is the image of the father, Colossians 1.15. And all of that d

as that, he is the firstborn of all creation, Colossians 1.15, in whom, better translated by whom, by whom all things were created, verse 16, Colossians 1.16. Firstborn is in comparison with every creature and must be understood as existing before every creature. The expression firstborn does not in

Colossians 1:15 · Lane G. Tipton

then the great mystery is that you have a full personal communication, infiliation, that Reformed people tend to talk more about the son being the image of the father. Flowing Colossians 1.15 and other places, flowing from that. And so, and Hebrews 1.3 and other places.

Colossians 1:15–20 · Glen Clary

alternately, by turns, a song to Christ as to a God. Now some people, some scholars, conjecture that that refers to a New Testament Christological hymn, for example, the Carmen Christi, the song to Christ in Philippians 2 verses 5-11, or perhaps Colossians 1 verses 15-20. One of the great books on t

But then the fact that when he dies, he offers a perfect sacrifice so that now death, it was not possible a

but yet he can say, you know, he’s Colossians 1.15 through 19. He’s the image of God. Not image in terms of created image, but he’s the perfect image of God. He is God. I mean, he’s the absolute. Now, Van Til gets into this and wants to develop. You can listen to our previous episodes, one with Lane

Colossians 1:16 · Adam York

You can think of the creation week as being bounded on the front end by holy space. It makes a difference how you take Genesis 1, in the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. I think Colossians 1.16 makes it pretty clear that that’s the invisible heavens, not the visible heavens. So there

Colossians 1:16 · Lane G. Tipton

And then we expanded it in light of texts like Nehemiah 9.6 and Isaiah 6.1-3 and Colossians 1.16 and even Hebrews 12.22-24.

Colossians 1:16 · Lane G. Tipton

Heaven, in biblical presentation, is not an abstract, ethereal thing that lacks the concreteness of the things that we see. You could put it this way. When Paul, in Colossians 1.16, says, By him, by the eternal Son, all things were created.

Colossians 1:16 · Lane G. Tipton

It was created in what Meredith Kline would call the absolute beginning. It’s created in the very first act of God in Genesis 1.1. And when Paul is reflecting on Genesis 1.1 in Colossians 1.16, he says that the Son of God, who is truth,

Colossians 1:16 · Lane G. Tipton

Yeah, yeah, you’ve got to nail that down, and I think the Colossians 1.16 and 17 text, if by him all things were made, and they’re through him and to him, he is before all things, not simply in some temporal succession, but in the immutability and impassibility of his divine identity. In other words

Colossians 1:20 · Lane G. Tipton

and in one way or another, replicas, where God’s glory will dwell for a time in Eden and then depart. God’s glory will dwell for a time in the earthly temple and then depart. But the glory of God does not depart from that heavenly temple and all things on earth are moving toward being brought into t

Colossians 1:18 · Lane G. Tipton

After the fall, the object of our faith is Christ, promised in the old covenant, manifested climactically in the new. And the faith that receives Christ, receives Christ as Lord. He is preeminent in all things, Colossians 1.18. He is the one in whom all of the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are f

Colossians 1:18 · Lane G. Tipton

of the resurrection order, the head of the church, the one who is exalted to a place of absolute and unqualified preeminence, Colossians 1.18. So, between those two fundamental Christological categories, pre-existence and post-existence, Ridderbos says you situate the whole of the history of creatio

Colossians 1:19 · Greg Beale

And let’s say Colossians 1.19, where the word is, we’re going to see, dwelling is and desire is, both those two words together. But you can ask this particular program, okay, I want to see where any particular combination of words… Oh, sure. …in verse 19, where do they appear in the Old Testamen

Colossians 1:20 · Lane G. Tipton

notion of a before and after of our experience moving from wrath to grace. And so the language that we find in Scripture about once you are enemies of God, that’s tensed, Colossians 1.20 and so on.

Colossians 1:21 · Lane G. Tipton

that means that the wrath of God with reference to our sin is satisfied, placated, mollified by Christ bearing it himself. We are also reconciled to God. God is the offended party. By the blood of Christ, text like Colossians 1.21, we are reconciled to God through the blood of the cross. 120, 122,

them all the way through their whole lives. And so to think then about Colossians 1.28, Paul says, for this I toil, striving with all of His energy that He powerfully works within me. He seeks to present every person mature in Christ. And when Paul spoke of that in Colossians 1.28, he used that word

It is. So that at the end of the day is the project that we are about is what we’ve said in Colossians 1.28. That is the session’s concern. That’s the presbytery’s concern. That’ll be the GA’s concern. But certainly our concern at the Reformed Forum is we are, we exist to help the church do her job.

That’s the church’s command and mandate by the Lord, Colossians 1.2

Colossians 1:28 · Speaker 1

Yeah. Yeah. The starting point, I take it, that any faithful exposition of God’s Word will proclaim Christ. Amen. I think that I can’t think of any better words than Paul’s in Colossians 1.28, Him we proclaim. Why are we studying this Word? Why are we proclaiming these Scriptures? Why are we expound

Colossians 1:28 · Camden Bucey

That’s the mission here, to present every person mature in Christ. Colossians 1.28. And as Reformed Christians who hold to the historic creeds and confessions of the Reformed faith, we believe that maturity presupposes knowledge and awareness and conviction of those Reformed beliefs. We don’t think
