Q1. (Colossians 1:5-6) Paul glorifies the gospel, the good news.
What words does he use to describe the action of the gospel in verses 5 and 6?
The gospel message produces hope. Hope resonates with people when they began to hear the word of truth. Jesus instilled hope when he spoke words of truth to people who sat in darkness. Hope is based on enduring promises and truth endures forever. The gospel message transcends culture, society, education, bearing the same fruit in all the world and without delay (from the day it was heard). We know them by their fruit.
Given the temptation the recipients have to adopt another religious philosophy, why do you think he reminds them of the world scope of the gospel
