WinstonY Posted January 19, 2015 Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 Q3. (Colossians 1:28-2:1) What is the purpose of Paul�s labors according to verse 28? What does �perfect in Christ� mean? How does Paul accomplish this goal? In what way is he �struggling� for them? It is Paul's purpose to present every one perfect before God in Jesus. However we are not perfect in this world but as we are justified and sanctified before God in Jesus. The Holy spirit through the blood of Christ enables us to stand before God justified as righteous than the Holy Spirit begins the process of sanctification which gradually and slowly through works of piety brings us closer and closer to the image of Christ. We never quite get there but it is a work in process and if we die before the process is complete as we no doubt will than Jesus cloaks us in a robe of righteousness which allows us to stand before the Lord unstained. Doctor refers to the same process as a maturing. Regardless the process is brought about by the Holy Spirit. Paul, filled with the Spirit, aids the Holy Spirit bu proclaiming or preaching, admonishing or warning and by teaching. we also can also help to bring about the result of perfection by also proclaiming or preaching, admonishing or warning and by teaching. Paul toils and struggles to bring about the perfection of the saints. He worked hard for their souls. How hard do we work to bring about the saving of souls.
