Paul reveals his tenderness in this section of his letter to the Colossians. Paul discusses unity and the fact that we all face challenges that can create disunity in our lives. Paul is loving and gracious, but he is correcting the false teaching in this church.

The eloquence of false teaching is deceptive, and their teaching is damning. Protecting the church and the integrity of teaching in the church is a priority for Paul. Further, he teaches us how to stand and how to walk by faith.

Paul is encouraging even as he corrects this church. Paul rejoices in Christ because of the good people in this church who are following Christ. Paul says that we are to walk by faith just as we received Christ by faith.

This walk happens first by faith, and this is a walk and not a run. The third feature is that we are rooted in Him. Built up is the fourth feature. Established in the faith is the fifth feature. And abounding is sixth.

Paul aggressively attacks false teachers in much of his writing. He loves this church and is working hard in this letter to correct the false teachers seeking to prey on them. He is reminding them of who they are in Christ so they can stand against false teaching. Paul clings to the truth of our Lord Jesus Christ as protection for this church.
