Episode notes

This chapter explores how Paul strategically sets up his argument in Colossians, introducing Onissimus and testing the readers. It also discusses the idea of doing things wholeheartedly, the analogy of clothing, and the importance of holding onto the desire to be a better person. Additionally, it emphasizes the need to support and encourage individuals making positive changes and highlights the challenges of embracing a new life in Christ.

Through trials and faith, Professor Lori Denning explores the power of the Atonement of Jesus Christ and its capacity to make people more like the Savior.
