3:16 (part 6) - Let Jesus' Words Richly Dwell in You

Colossians 3:16

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.


Hello, sorry for the super long delay. Please don't angry with me, okay. It is completely my fault.

Okay, so I assumed that all the previous verses is up embedded in your head:

John 3:16,
1 John 3:16,
Philippians 3:16,
1 Timothy 3:16,
Luke 3:16,
and
Ephesians 3:16


Re-cap:

John 3:16 >> God loves me...

1 John 3:16 >> So, I gotta love my brethen the way how God loves me...

Philippians 3:16 >> That is why, we as a church need to be united by walking the same rule...

1 Timothy 3:16 >> And, based on the testimonial of Jesus (the mystery of godliness), we preach the gospel to the Gentiles.

Luke 3:16 >> It is a great honor to preaching the gospel (serving Jesus) and John said that he is unworthy to serve Jesus.


Ephesians 3:16 >> ...But by serving Jesus, He will grant us according to the richess of His infinite glory! jackpot!

How Jesus grant us all His richess glory?

Look up to your bible at Colossians 3:16.

Let's memorize:

"Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom;..."

Jesus' glory is in His word! Jesus is God and He is the source of the inspiration of the bible. In another words, He co-authored the bible with the Father and the Holy Spirit. That means, by reading the scripture daily, we are immersing ourself with the glory of God. The 'untapped' richess of His Glory is right there in front of you -- in your holy bible.


"...teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.

And you thought God is tired of hymns and songs praises to Him? nope, nope, nope. You just gotta sing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. It is not a routine-thing nor some kind of funeral songs.

It also interesting to note that, "teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns". I do find that today's (or contemporary) Christian songs is really lacking of the 'teaching' and the 'admonishing' element. Seriously. I guess, it is time for us, Christian community to learn from people of the days of Isaac Watts and John Newton.

God bless
