Both the depths of our sin and the love of Christ for us are mostly unfathomable to us.
Unfathomable
Christ
The Next Step
To walk in Christ is to live a life patterned after His.
Commentary from the MacArthur study Bible, notes for Colossians 2:6.
Whom is he like?
It is not sufficient to give lip service to Christ’s lordship. Genuine faith produces obedience. A tree is known by its fruits (verse 44).
Commentary from the MacArthur study Bible, notes for Luke 6:46.
Obedience to the Truth
Scripture should permeate every aspect of the believer’s life and control every thought, word, and deed (Psalm 119:11; Matthew 13:9; Philippians 2:16; 2 Timothy 2:15).
Commentary from the MacArthur study Bible, notes for Colossians 3:16.
Reconciled in Christ
~Colossians 1:19-23~
Man is reconciled to God when God restores man to a right relationship with Him through Jesus Christ. This text does not teach that, as a result, all will believe; rather it teaches that all will ultimately submit.
Commentary from the MacArthur study Bible, notes for Colossians 1:20.

Taken for a Ride
Here is the term for robbery. False teachers who are successful in getting people to believe lies, rob them of truth, salvation, and blessing. Far from being advanced, profound knowledge, the false teachers’ beliefs were simplistic and immature like all of the rest of the speculations, ideologies, philosophies, and psychologies the fallen satanic and human system invents.
Commentary from the MacArthur study Bible, notes for Colossians 2:8.
Through One Man
Adam’s sin brought universal death – exactly opposite the result he expected and Satan had promised: “You will be like God” (Genesis 3:5). Christ’s sacrifice brought salvation to those who believe Him. Unlike Adam’s act, Christ’s act has – and will – accomplish exactly what He intended (Philippians 1:6), i.e., spiritual life (Ephesians 2:5).
Commentary from the MacArthur study Bible, notes for Romans 5:17.
