Paul's Prayer Purposes

The Pleasing Path

By Jeremy Krenzin, June 25, 2023

Scripture Reading: Hebrews 12:3-14

Passage: Colossians 1:9-14


Main Idea: Paul's prayer: As Christians learn about salvation in Christ, their walk increasingly pleases Him.

Three questions Paul answers about God's purpose for the Christian walk:

  1. God's purpose is for Christians [to please Christ] (Colossians 1:9-10)
  2. Christians should expect to be carrying out God's purposes (Colossians 1:10-12)
  3. God's purposes will be achieved in Christians' lives [the Father's redemption in Christ] (Colossians 1:12-14)
