Study Questions

  1. Read Colossians 1:1-8. If Paul were writing a letter to you based on the information he had received by one of your Christian friends, what in your life would he thank God for? In what areas might he pray for you to grow?
  2. Identify someone you know who appears to bring honor to God. What qualities, actions, or attitudes made you recognize this person?
  3. How are faith, hope and love related in this passage? How do they fit together? Why is each so essential to the spiritual life? What happens if one of the three is weak in a person's life? (See 1 Corinthians 13:13 & Ephesians 1:15-18.)
  4. The word gospel means "good news". What is the good news in 1:5? (See Romans 1:16-17, 1 Corinthians 15:1-6, & 2 Timothy 2:8.) Why is this message such good news?
  5. Who had taught the gospel to the Colossians? How is he described? What can we learn from the way the New Testament describes those who share the gospel?
  6. How to you hope the gospel changes you through this study? How do you hope others begin to see the clear mark of the gospel on you? What will need to change in your life to build such a reputation?
