At the time the letter to the Colossians was written, the Gospel was spreading rapidly throughout Asia Minor and Europe. In Colossae, evangelistic activities were carried out vigorously, and the gospel spread to the surrounding cities as well. In other words, the church in Colossae had momentum. In sports competitions, maintaining momentum is crucial for achieving victory. Similarly, maintaining momentum and drive is essential to church activities, personal growth, and spiritual development. Once lost, it becomes difficult to regain momentum. We learn from the Colossian church the secret to maintaining momentum. 1: They were filled with faith. False teachers had appeared in the Colossian church, spreading erroneous teachings. Nevertheless, the believers in Colossae resisted these harmful influences and remained faithful to Jesus. 2: They were rich in love. They showed love to all the saints. Their love must have testified to God’s love for people. 3: They had hope. The believers in Colossae held a clear hope for heaven. That hope gave them the strength to preach the gospel. In verse 6, Paul says, “The gospel is bearing fruit and growing throughout the whole world —just as it has been doing among you since the day you heard it and truly understood God’s grace.” In other words, the gospel will only advance with momentum if we truly understand God’s grace. Those of us with a sinful nature tend to lose sight of God’s love and grace. Therefore, let us rely on the Holy Spirit and walk firmly in God’s grace.
