Colossians | The Treasure of ‘Christ in You’

 

The treasure of the Gospel – “Christ in you.” And know that because Christ is in us, we can live for His kingdom, instead of our comfort. We can grow into maturity, instead of following our own path. We can be empowered by his strength, instead of relying on our own power.
