Walking in God's Law: A Study of the 10 Commandments- Command No 7 (Part 2) | Bible Study | 

Having introduced Paul's ministry in the previous passage, Pastor Adeola Ogundele turned our attention to the nature of Paul's ministry and the message God entrusted to him. In the face of false teachers who sought to diminish Christ by adding to the gospel, Paul reminded the Colossian church that there is only one message that saves: "Christ in you, the hope of glory."

Paul described himself as both a servant and a steward. As a servant, he existed for the spiritual growth of God's people rather than his own prominence, and as a steward, he had been entrusted with God's Word, having no authority to alter or add to it. The mystery he proclaimed was not something unknowable, but God's once-hidden plan now fully revealed in Christ—that through Jesus, God would dwell with His people and bring both Jews and Gentiles into the hope of eternal glory.

We were reminded that every believer has also been entrusted with a stewardship in God's house. There are no spectators in the kingdom of God; each Christian has been given gifts and opportunities to serve Christ and strengthen His church.

Though writing from prison to a church he had never met, Apostle Paul was deeply invested - more concerned with strengthening God's people than with his own comfort. His life stands as a powerful contrast to complacency and self-indulgence.

Paul's ministry was marked by suffering. In the case of the Colossian church, Paul endured the cost and pain to make intercessory prayers, yet he rejoiced because his joy was rooted in God's person and purposes rather than his circumstances. We were reminded that suffering is an expected part of the Christian life, but God uses it to produce godliness, deepen our faith, see Him more clearly, and accomplish His eternal purposes. Rather than removing us from suffering, He gives us grace to endure it with joy.

Finally, we were challenged to embrace lives of sacrificial service for Christ and others. Although Christ has finished the work of securing our salvation, the message of salvation must still be proclaimed, often at great cost. As we were exhorted, "Take your God seriously; He took you seriously on the cross."
