We’ve had a chance to hear Paul write to churches who misunderstood grace and Christian liberty. We’ve also listened in on correspondence to churches caught up in legalism. First there was Galatians, now Colossians. Seeing how Paul dealt with each church differently is a nice reminder that every situation is unique not only in the type of misunderstanding but also in its seriousness.
Before we finish this module on Prison Epistles, we’re going to step back and consider Paul’s approach to ethics.
