As You Received, So Walk

In Colossians Chapter 2, the apostle Paul exhorts the church at Colosse to walk in the full assurance of faith that comes from a proper understanding of gospel fundamentals. He regards possession of this truth as "riches" and encourages the saints to walk in the same fashion that they received Christ - that is - full of thanksgiving for all the grace given by God to the undeserving objects of his mercy, and through willing obedience to the precepts of Christ.
