Colossians 2:6 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

As, or since, ye have received Christ Jesus the Lord Have acknowledged Jesus of Nazareth to be the true Messiah promised to the Jews, and consequently a divinely-commissioned Teacher, Mediator, Saviour, and Lawgiver; yea, the great Prophet, Priest, and King of his church, and therefore your sovereign Lord, and the final Judge of men and angels; so walk ye in him Let your spirit and conduct, your dispositions, words, and actions, be in perfect consistency with this acknowledgment; walk in the same faith, love, and holiness, in which you received him, steadily believing his doctrines, obeying his precepts, relying on his promises, revering his threatenings, and imitating his example; rooted In him, as trees in a good soil, or as the graft is rooted in the stock; and built Upon him, the only sure foundation of your confidence and hope for time and eternity; and established in the faith In your persuasion of the truth and importance of the gospel in all its parts; as ye have been taught By those that have preached it to you; abounding therein Making continual progress in your acquaintance with it and conformity to it; with thanksgiving To God, for having made you partakers of so great a blessing.

Colossians 2:6-7

6 As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him:

7 Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.
