1
00:00:01,400 --> 00:00:02,700
It's certainly good to see 
everybody. 

2
00:00:02,700 --> 00:00:06,800
You was able to make it out this
evening and we are continuing 

3
00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:10,300
continuing, our study and the 
third chapter of Colossians. 

4
00:00:10,300 --> 00:00:14,300
And the versus under 
consideration, tonight are 

5
00:00:14,300 --> 00:00:23,800
verses 7 through 11 of chapter 
3. in these upcoming versus Paul

6
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:27,400
has given us a lot of very 
practical things that we can 

7
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:33,600
live by on how to put up our 
old, sinful way of life and how 

8
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:38,300
to put on a new christ-like life
and and what that looks like and

9
00:00:38,700 --> 00:00:42,200
and some tools that we can use 
and it's just a very practical 

10
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:46,900
set of verses not only in what 
we're studying tonight, but but 

11
00:00:46,900 --> 00:00:50,200
through the rest of the chapter,
honestly, And there's a lot of 

12
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:53,300
things that can be talked about 
in these few verses. 

13
00:00:54,400 --> 00:01:00,000
So I kind of had to choose to 
stop going deeper into certain 

14
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,000
subjects, so I could get the 
study taken care of. 

15
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:05,800
But there is so much information
and so much that we can learn by

16
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:10,000
just by these few verses. 
I want to go ahead and read the 

17
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:14,400
first 11 verses of Chapter 3 of 
Colossians. 

18
00:01:16,100 --> 00:01:17,900
It says there, beginning in 
verse 1. 

19
00:01:19,100 --> 00:01:22,700
If then you were raised with 
Christ, seek those things which 

20
00:01:22,700 --> 00:01:26,200
are above where Christ is 
sitting, at the right hand of 

21
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:30,000
God, set your mind on things 
above, not on things on the 

22
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:34,100
earth for you died, and your 
life is hidden with Christ in 

23
00:01:34,100 --> 00:01:39,100
God, when Christ, who is our 
life appears, then you also will

24
00:01:39,100 --> 00:01:42,900
appear with him in glory, 
therefore put to death your 

25
00:01:42,900 --> 00:01:45,400
members which are on on the 
earth. 

26
00:01:45,700 --> 00:01:48,700
Fornication uncleanness passion,
evil desire land. 

27
00:01:48,900 --> 00:01:52,900
And die evil desire and 
covetousness, which is idolatry 

28
00:01:53,900 --> 00:01:57,100
because of the because of these 
things, the wrath of God is 

29
00:01:57,100 --> 00:02:00,500
coming upon the sons of 
disobedience in which you 

30
00:02:00,500 --> 00:02:03,000
yourselves, once walk when you 
lived in them. 

31
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:08,600
But now yourselves are to put up
all these anger wrath, malice 

32
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:12,400
blasphemy, filthy language out 
of your mouth do not lie to one 

33
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:14,600
another. 
Since you have put off the old 

34
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:18,700
man with his deeds and have put 
on the new man who is renewed. 

35
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:22,700
And knowledge according to the 
image of him who created him 

36
00:02:23,300 --> 00:02:26,400
where there is, neither Greek, 
nor Jew circumcised nor 

37
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:31,000
uncircumcised, Barbarian 
scythian, slave nor free. 

38
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:41,600
But Christ is in all is all, and
in all so, beginning in verse 

39
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:46,100
number 7, We have the question 
posed to us. 

40
00:02:46,500 --> 00:02:48,800
What is meant by the phrase you 
yourselves? 

41
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:51,600
Once walked when you lived in 
them. 

42
00:02:52,500 --> 00:02:56,400
So this phrase is in direct 
reference to the attributes that

43
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:59,600
were mentioned in verse 5, which
were fornication uncleanness 

44
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,700
passion, evil, desire, desire 
and covetousness. 

45
00:03:02,700 --> 00:03:05,900
So Paul was telling the 
Colossians that they at one time

46
00:03:05,900 --> 00:03:09,400
before following Christ, they 
too could have possibly have 

47
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:13,500
these characteristics. 
He's instructing and trying to 

48
00:03:13,500 --> 00:03:17,500
show that that the old way that 
we used to live or the old man. 

49
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:23,800
That's how that was before they 
became Christians and such for 

50
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:27,700
us today. 
When we choose a Life of Christ,

51
00:03:27,900 --> 00:03:29,400
there are things that we need to
change. 

52
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:32,600
Is complete lifestyle. 
Change that happens. 

53
00:03:33,500 --> 00:03:37,300
When we look at a few passages, 
that kind of describe that in 

54
00:03:37,300 --> 00:03:42,200
1st, Corinthians 6, verse 9 
through 11 says, do not be 

55
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:45,300
deceived. 
Neither fornicators nor nor 

56
00:03:45,300 --> 00:03:49,400
idolaters nor adulterers nor 
homosexuals nor sodomites, nor 

57
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:53,100
thieves nor Covetous nor 
drunkards, nor revilers nor 

58
00:03:53,100 --> 00:03:55,500
extortioners will inherit the 
Kingdom. 

59
00:03:55,700 --> 00:04:00,900
Of God and such were some of you
but you were washed, but you 

60
00:04:00,900 --> 00:04:03,500
were Sanctified, you were 
justified in the name of the 

61
00:04:03,500 --> 00:04:08,700
Lord Jesus. 
And by the spirit of God, also 

62
00:04:08,700 --> 00:04:13,200
in Ephesians chapter 2 verses 1 
through 3, it says, and he I'm 

63
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:18,700
sorry and you he made alive who 
were dead in trespasses and sins

64
00:04:18,899 --> 00:04:22,500
in which you once walked, 
according to the course of this 

65
00:04:22,500 --> 00:04:25,800
world, according to the prince 
of power of the air, the spirit,

66
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:30,200
who now works in the sons of 
Disobedience among whom all 

67
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:33,600
also, we all once conducted 
ourselves in the lusts of our 

68
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:37,700
flesh, fulfilling the desires of
our flesh, and of the Mind, And 

69
00:04:37,700 --> 00:04:43,000
were by Nature children of Wrath
just as the others also. 

70
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:47,300
In Titus 3 verses 3 through 5, 
it says, for we ourselves were 

71
00:04:47,300 --> 00:04:52,300
also once foolish disobedient, 
deceived serving, various lusts 

72
00:04:52,300 --> 00:04:56,700
and Pleasures living in Malice 
and envy hateful and hating one 

73
00:04:56,700 --> 00:04:59,100
another. 
But when the kindness and love 

74
00:04:59,100 --> 00:05:02,600
of God, our savior toward man 
appeared not by works of 

75
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:05,800
righteousness, which we have 
done, but according to his 

76
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:09,300
Mercy, he saved us. 
Through the washing of 

77
00:05:09,300 --> 00:05:12,600
regeneration and renewing of the
Holy Spirit. 

78
00:05:13,500 --> 00:05:19,200
So, these passages of scripture 
give us characteristics of what,

79
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:24,200
a way of life was prior to 
becoming a Christian as choosing

80
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:26,500
to obey the gospel and follow 
Jesus. 

81
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:32,100
But when we are washed baptism, 
First, Corinthians 6:11, We Are 

82
00:05:32,100 --> 00:05:37,200
Made Alive, Ephesians 2:1 by the
washing or baptism. 

83
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:42,000
That is described in Titus 3:5. 
So, these characteristics should

84
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:45,500
be wiped away from Our Lives 
when we choose to follow Jesus 

85
00:05:45,500 --> 00:05:47,800
and follow Christ and follow 
God's word. 

86
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:51,500
They do not. 
They now those characteristics 

87
00:05:51,700 --> 00:05:54,400
characteristics. 
Now, do not Define Our Lives of 

88
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:56,200
who we are. 
That was a present. 

89
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:59,800
That was a past old man that we 
put off. 

90
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:04,000
And that all happens when we are
baptized into Christ. 

91
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:08,900
We make a conscious decision to 
change who we once were now. 

92
00:06:10,300 --> 00:06:14,300
God does not do the work for us.
He does not make up our own 

93
00:06:14,300 --> 00:06:18,500
minds when we are washed of our 
old ways, and our old way of 

94
00:06:18,500 --> 00:06:21,500
life, it does not mean that God 
now controls are thinking and 

95
00:06:21,500 --> 00:06:26,100
controls, our way of life, and 
we are just robots and he and we

96
00:06:26,100 --> 00:06:28,600
are unable to sin. 
That's not what that means. 

97
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:35,300
We are still capable of Sending 
you, we all sin, but it's not, 

98
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:38,500
it's not stating in these verses
that when we choose a Life of 

99
00:06:38,500 --> 00:06:40,900
Christ, God is now in the 
driver's seat and controlling 

100
00:06:40,900 --> 00:06:44,400
everything we do. 
We still have free will and 

101
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:49,700
still have choices to make the 
word walked here in verse 7 is 

102
00:06:49,700 --> 00:06:52,600
defined as to regulate one's 
life. 

103
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:57,000
That's how Thayer defines it. 
It is continuous way of life or 

104
00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,700
lifestyle. 
Meaning that, that is how we 

105
00:06:59,700 --> 00:07:03,000
choose to live our life. 
We choose to make those 

106
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:06,500
decisions daily. 
It is a daily progression and 

107
00:07:06,500 --> 00:07:11,000
when we live for Christ, that is
now our lifestyle. 

108
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:14,900
Even though we have a life of 
Christ, we still May slip up 

109
00:07:14,900 --> 00:07:18,700
stumble or fall by committing 
any of these things that were 

110
00:07:18,700 --> 00:07:23,000
mentioned in the verses, but 
that is now not our way of life.

111
00:07:23,500 --> 00:07:28,600
Our way of life is now focusing 
on Jesus and God's desire for us

112
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:33,900
and Paul in the next verse gives
us some practical ways on how to

113
00:07:33,900 --> 00:07:38,700
put off the old man. 
And what the old man looks like.

114
00:07:39,100 --> 00:07:42,400
So that brings us to question 
number 2, which deals with verse

115
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:47,700
8, says, Define the following 
words in this verse In verse 8 

116
00:07:47,700 --> 00:07:52,200
says, but now your you 
yourselves are put to let me 

117
00:07:52,207 --> 00:07:55,200
start over, I'm sorry. 
But now you yourselves are to 

118
00:07:55,200 --> 00:08:00,800
put off all these anger wrath, 
malice blasphemy filthy language

119
00:08:00,900 --> 00:08:04,000
out of your mouth. 
I know Frank just asked for a 

120
00:08:04,008 --> 00:08:07,300
couple of definitions of these, 
but I'm going to go ahead and 

121
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:10,500
try to touch on each one of 
these descriptions, that has 

122
00:08:10,500 --> 00:08:13,800
made. 
So anger, the word anger, here 

123
00:08:13,900 --> 00:08:21,800
is a noun This is talking about 
not how we get angry sometimes 

124
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:25,600
at just some certain situations.
This is talking about 

125
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:32,900
indignation a slow Burning 
Anger, that controls everything 

126
00:08:32,900 --> 00:08:35,000
that you do every decision you 
make. 

127
00:08:35,700 --> 00:08:40,900
It is something that is 
subsiding in you and just burns.

128
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:45,900
So it's a different word than 
what we find in Ephesians, 4:26,

129
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:50,800
Expert says, be angry and sin. 
Not, there's no conflict between

130
00:08:50,900 --> 00:08:56,200
Ephesians 4:26 and the word 
anger here in verse 8. 

131
00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:00,800
Because when we read this 
passage and other passages like 

132
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:05,300
this, we are allowed to be angry
at situations and circumstances 

133
00:09:05,300 --> 00:09:09,100
and choices. 
As long as we do not sin with 

134
00:09:09,100 --> 00:09:13,400
that anger, but to be 
perpetually, angry to have a 

135
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:15,800
burn in our hearts to have a 
control, our crew. 

136
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:18,700
Things and control. 
Our emotions that is where we 

137
00:09:18,700 --> 00:09:23,200
are, so susceptible to sinning 
and giving a devil, a foothold 

138
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:31,800
in our lives The word wrath, the
Wrath, the word wrath here is 

139
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:39,500
described as Rage or an outburst
of passion a boiling over of the

140
00:09:39,500 --> 00:09:43,900
anger that we just talked about 
that Shone out early. 

141
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:47,300
You know, if we let that anger 
to sit in our hearts and burn, 

142
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:52,800
it's going to come out somehow 
and it comes out in Wrath and 

143
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:56,900
and then that goes right onto 
the word malice, which gives us 

144
00:09:56,900 --> 00:10:00,500
an ill will that has a desire to
injure. 

145
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:06,600
So all based upon anger, if we 
let that anger sit, it just 

146
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:12,600
keeps growing and growing and 
growing and we have ill will 

147
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:14,200
towards other people. 
Malice. 

148
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:19,400
We want, we want people to hurt.
The next word blasphemy. 

149
00:10:20,900 --> 00:10:28,000
This is something I learned in. 
And this was defined as a verbal

150
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:32,900
insult intentionally, uttered 
intended to injure, another or 

151
00:10:32,900 --> 00:10:36,200
defame their name. 
I always thought that blasphemy 

152
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:40,400
only could be done to God. 
And, and by studying this, we 

153
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:43,800
can quote on quote, be 
Blasphemous to somebody else. 

154
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:49,800
By, by speaking ill, towards 
them or in, are insulting them, 

155
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:56,600
or Or whatever it may be. 
It can be against anyone who we 

156
00:10:56,600 --> 00:11:01,600
speak evil against. 
And then the last description 

157
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:03,400
here. 
Filthy communication is pretty 

158
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:07,000
self-explanatory. 
I've seen speech, it includes 

159
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:12,200
insults bullying vulgar language
all, which is the meeting 

160
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:17,000
demeaning to not only the person
whom is directed to, but those 

161
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:21,600
who met in be in close proximity
to the word spoken. 

162
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:26,400
So, it's pretty interesting on 
how the progression of these 

163
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:30,300
words build. 
You have anger in your life, 

164
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:35,800
it's a slow burning, it then 
turns into Rath, which becomes 

165
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:39,100
that your anger becomes an 
outburst of passion, and then 

166
00:11:39,100 --> 00:11:42,500
that passion and anger turns 
into malice, where you desire, 

167
00:11:42,500 --> 00:11:46,100
someone to be injured. 
And in that in that that anger 

168
00:11:46,100 --> 00:11:51,100
still has potential to become 
Blasphemous where you're 

169
00:11:51,300 --> 00:11:53,700
speaking verbal insults to 
somebody. 

170
00:11:54,100 --> 00:11:56,700
And then of course, along with 
that comes the filthy 

171
00:11:56,700 --> 00:12:02,300
communication. 
So very practical stuff that we 

172
00:12:02,300 --> 00:12:07,400
can learn from in just those few
little words there that brings 

173
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:10,400
us to our third question. 
Number three, how does one put 

174
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:13,100
off the old man? 
And his deeds and this is in 

175
00:12:13,100 --> 00:12:15,600
verse 9. 
It says do not lie to one 

176
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:20,300
another since you have put off 
the old man with his deeds. 

177
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:24,400
Putting off the old man is a 
reference like we've already 

178
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:27,700
touched on to change as made 
when we choose in life of a 

179
00:12:27,700 --> 00:12:30,600
Christian would become New. 
Creations, the old 

180
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:32,500
characteristics of sinful 
decisions. 

181
00:12:32,500 --> 00:12:37,200
We make no longer and we make a 
choice to stop living for our 

182
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:40,900
own selfish desires and our own 
selfish loves, and we put that 

183
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:44,900
old way that we used to be 
behind us. 

184
00:12:45,300 --> 00:12:49,000
We are choosing a New Life of 
Christ, and when we change or 

185
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:52,700
put off that old way of life, we
To replace it with something. 

186
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:58,600
We have to replace it with the 
new man that is talked about, in

187
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:03,500
the New River in the next verse.
And that deals. 

188
00:13:03,500 --> 00:13:06,600
With verse number 10, how does 
one put on the new man? 

189
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:09,500
And what is meant by the phrase?
Renewed in knowledge verse 10 

190
00:13:10,300 --> 00:13:13,500
and that says and have put on 
the new man who is renewed in 

191
00:13:13,500 --> 00:13:16,900
knowledge according to the image
of him who created him. 

192
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:21,300
So if we wanted to give these 
couple of verses and especially 

193
00:13:21,300 --> 00:13:26,100
this verse kind of an overall 
arching word to describe it, it 

194
00:13:26,100 --> 00:13:30,900
comes down to repentance. 
Repentance is the word where 

195
00:13:30,900 --> 00:13:34,100
things change in our life. 
We put off the old man and we 

196
00:13:34,100 --> 00:13:38,000
put on the new man, we change 
our life completely in another 

197
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:41,700
Direction, living a lifestyle 
that is conducive to Jesus 

198
00:13:41,700 --> 00:13:48,700
lifestyle and his commands. 
So we are to become living 

199
00:13:48,700 --> 00:13:51,900
sacrifices as described in 
Romans 12 verse 1. 

200
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:56,700
All that we now do is for God 
and not for our own fleshly 

201
00:13:57,100 --> 00:13:59,300
desires. 
Putting on a new man changes 

202
00:13:59,300 --> 00:14:03,000
everything about our life. 
All that we once knew. 

203
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:07,100
And thought we had a knowledge 
on becomes insignificant to the 

204
00:14:07,100 --> 00:14:10,900
knowledge that we now have by 
gaining, but that we now gain by

205
00:14:10,900 --> 00:14:15,200
serving, God and growing in our 
knowledge of him and his will. 

206
00:14:15,500 --> 00:14:19,900
And that can only be done by 
reading the word of God and 

207
00:14:19,900 --> 00:14:23,000
understanding the knowledge that
is in there and renewing our 

208
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:26,700
knowledge and life and 
understanding more of what his 

209
00:14:26,700 --> 00:14:33,000
desire is for us. 
We cannot be renewed into a new 

210
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:37,000
man by any other way than what's
written in the in the word of 

211
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:40,900
God. 
So Paul gives us some positive 

212
00:14:41,700 --> 00:14:47,800
affirmation that we can be made 
new through those through that 

213
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:50,300
way of Understanding God's will 
for us. 

214
00:14:51,500 --> 00:14:54,800
I want to read. 
And if you have your Bibles open

215
00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:58,900
to Ephesians 4, starting in 
verse 20 and will read through 

216
00:14:58,900 --> 00:15:06,300
32, And just while we read this,
I mean this this these few 

217
00:15:06,300 --> 00:15:10,000
verses really touch on 
everything that we talked about 

218
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:12,900
here in Colossians and there's 
there's phrases in here that 

219
00:15:12,900 --> 00:15:14,700
we're going to recognize as we 
read them. 

220
00:15:15,300 --> 00:15:18,000
It says, they're beginning in 
verse 20, but you have not so 

221
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:21,500
learned Christ if indeed, you 
have heard him and have been 

222
00:15:21,500 --> 00:15:24,500
taught by him. 
As the truth is in Jesus that 

223
00:15:24,500 --> 00:15:28,500
you put off concerning your 
former conduct the old man, 

224
00:15:28,500 --> 00:15:32,200
which grows corrupt according to
the deceitful lusts and beer. 

225
00:15:32,300 --> 00:15:35,800
Renewed in the spirit of your 
mind and that you put on the new

226
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:40,700
man, which was created according
to God in true righteousness and

227
00:15:40,700 --> 00:15:45,900
Holiness, therefore, put putting
away lying, Let each one of you 

228
00:15:45,900 --> 00:15:50,900
speak truth in his neighbor with
his neighbor for, we are members

229
00:15:50,900 --> 00:15:53,700
of one. 
Another be angry and do not sin,

230
00:15:53,900 --> 00:15:57,400
do not let the sun, go down on 
your wrath, nor give place to 

231
00:15:57,400 --> 00:16:02,500
the devil, let him who stole 
steal no longer, but rather Him 

232
00:16:02,500 --> 00:16:04,900
labor working with his hands and
what is good? 

233
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:08,800
That he may have something to 
give him who has need, let no 

234
00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:12,100
corrupt word proceed out of your
mouth but what is good for 

235
00:16:12,100 --> 00:16:16,100
necessary edification that it 
may impart grace to the hearers 

236
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:19,800
and do not grieve the Holy 
Spirit by whom you were sealed 

237
00:16:19,900 --> 00:16:25,700
for the day of redemption. 
Let all bitterness wrath anger, 

238
00:16:25,900 --> 00:16:29,400
clamor and evil. 
Speaking be put away from you 

239
00:16:29,700 --> 00:16:34,500
with all malice and be kind. 
To one another tender-hearted 

240
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:38,500
forgiving one another. 
Even as God in Christ, forgave 

241
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:45,900
you In verse 11. 
Which deals with the question? 

242
00:16:45,900 --> 00:16:49,700
Number five, that were. 
It says at now breakdown this 

243
00:16:49,700 --> 00:16:52,400
version explain. 
Its meaning verse 11 says, where

244
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:56,100
there is, neither Greek nor Jew 
circumcised nor Ernst 

245
00:16:56,200 --> 00:17:00,700
uncircumcised, Barbarian 
scythian, slave nor free. 

246
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:05,800
But Christ is all and in all 
This is very, very simple. 

247
00:17:07,300 --> 00:17:10,700
Christ is available and 
accessible to all. 

248
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:15,000
The Jews thought very highly of 
themselves and believe that they

249
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:18,300
were the only one who had the 
privilege of accessing God, the 

250
00:17:18,300 --> 00:17:21,500
Creator. 
Paul reaffirms here that it does

251
00:17:21,500 --> 00:17:25,800
not matter where you are from. 
What nationality we are, what 

252
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:29,600
color our skin is what language 
we speak, whether we are in 

253
00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:32,900
bondage to someone or a master 
of some, it does not matter. 

254
00:17:32,900 --> 00:17:36,500
What state or your 
circumstances, you may be in, 

255
00:17:36,900 --> 00:17:42,300
Jesus is king of all Nations, 
and died for all, and his 

256
00:17:42,300 --> 00:17:46,900
salvation is available to all 
that is what Paul is saying. 

257
00:17:46,900 --> 00:17:51,400
In this verse 11 doesn't matter 
where you're from doesn't matter

258
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:54,800
if you're a Jew by blood or or 
whatever. 

259
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:58,600
The case may be, everybody has 
the same privilege. 

260
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:03,600
To access Christ. 
And we are commanded that, we 

261
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:07,200
have to control ourselves. 
We have to have our self under 

262
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:11,600
subjection, because that's what 
Jesus has called us to do. 

263
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:13,600
That's what we are instructed to
do. 

264
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:16,500
And if we don't, Paul tells us 
right here. 

265
00:18:16,500 --> 00:18:20,400
What happens if we do not have 
our anger under control, You 

266
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:24,500
know, free counseling right here
in Colossians 3 or 7 through 11 

267
00:18:24,500 --> 00:18:29,200
on practical living ways and how
to deal with our emotions and if

268
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:31,400
we don't deal with them and if 
we don't keep them under 

269
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:34,500
control, how they can expound 
and be problems.
