“My goal is that they may be encouraged in heart and united in love, so that they may have the full riches of complete understanding, in order that they may know the mystery of God, namely, Christ.” Colossians 2:2
Paul’s goal was three-fold: encouragement to give them strength, united in love to give them a sense of community and enrichment to give them a deeper understanding of spiritual realities. God always has more to reveal to us, such wisdom often doesn’t come to us as a direct result of study but by revelation and engagement with a community of believers.
