Paul's purpose for writing the book of Colossians was to preach the word of God in Ephesus(Colossae) about Christ's relationship; to the father, to the universe and to the church. Also. He preached the heresies of perversions. Some of these perversions were deceitful words, wicked traditions, false philosophy and idolatry.- Paul preached that Christ's relationship to the father is Christ is God. He preached that Christ is a part of him like his dear Son in Colossians 1:13. God is the alpha and omega(the beginning and the end). So is Christ. Paul preached to the Colossians in Colossians 1:15 that Christ is the image of the invisible God and the firstborn of every creature. He preached concerning the sufferings of Christ. That Christ is a part of Him(God) through his sufferings. Paul described this in Colossians 1:18-20 stating and He(Christ) is the head and body of the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he may have the preeminence. For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell; and, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven. Therefore, Christ is a part of him and joint-heirs of him through his sufferings.- Paul preached Christ relationship to the universe was Christ is for every creature and it is because of Christ we are His(God's) through faith. He best describes this in Colossians 1:23-29. Colossians 1:23-29 tells us, if we stay in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which you have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister of him; who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body's sake, which is the church: whereof I am made, according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you, to fulfill the word of God; even the mystery which has been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made assured to his saints: to whom God would make known what is the riches of glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory: whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present all men perfect in Christ Jesus: whereunto I also labour, striving according to his working, which worketh in me mightily. So. We are a part of Christ(God's) through faith and suffering. Romans 8:17 says, and if children, then heirs, heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together. Also. Romans 5:1-2 states, by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: by whom too we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.- Paul preached that Jesus Christ has relationship to the church. The church is His. If we are saints and church attendants, then will we be delivered to him. Because we are believers. Then we are his servants(the church and worshippers). And he is our master. He is the head and the body of the church is what Paul preached in Colossians 1:18.- Colossians 1:19 says, for it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell. The church dwells in him. And Christ dwells and his spirit lives and is active in the church. The church is for; the Son of God, the word of God, the work of God and your prayer life.- Paul preached these heresies of perversions: deceitful words, false philosophy, wicked traditions and idolatry. He preached in Colossians 2:4 don't let any man fool you with enticing words. Paul preached against people who are about wicked traditions in Colossians 2:8. These sinners are for the tradition of men and not for Christ traditions. Paul preached against idolat
