Colossians 1:21-29: Reconciliation. Suffering. Mission.

The cross takes away the human effort and any amount of works one can do as the hope of their salvation.  Paul has stated his Christology and now moves into the how and why of reconciliation.  There is much grace in this last part of chapter one and it can raise some questions to those not familiar with the Biblical language.  Verse 23 uses the word "if" and the phrase "in the faith" and both are crucial to understanding Paul's statement correctly and not create confusion.  Paul is simply retelling the Gospel to the church again as once received from Epaphras to combat the false teachings coming along.  Know the scriptures and know your place in Christ.  Besides our salvation, understanding the results of Christ's work can change many things.
