Text: Colossians 1:1-2
The Author of Colossians
The human author of this book is the Apostle Paul, who also penned 13 letters of the New Testament. Paul was redeemed by God’s grace and became a missionary for the Gospel’s sake.
The Audience of Colossians
Paul wrote this letter to the church at Colossae from prison in Rome between A.D. 60-62, before his eventual martyrdom in A.D. 64. Paul was confronting false teaching by pointing the Colossian church to hope in the supremacy and sufficiency of Christ.
The Aim of Colossians
The theology of Colossians centers on Christ’s supremacy and sufficiency as it is worked out within the believer’s life. Paul set out to proclaim Christ so that we may become mature in Christ (Colossians 1:18, 28).
