Series: Colossians 2:10

This VerseQuest Ministries sermon outline on Colossians 2:10 explains the believer’s complete standing in Jesus Christ: “And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power.” The outline places the verse in its doctrinal context, warning against philosophy, vain deceit, tradition of men, rudiments of the world, ordinances, legalistic shadows, and every religious system that tries to add to the sufficiency of Christ. It teaches Christ’s fullness as the bodily dwelling of the Godhead, His headship over all principality and power, the believer’s spiritual circumcision without hands, identification with Christ’s death and resurrection, forgiveness of all trespasses, the handwriting blotted out, and the triumph of Christ over every accuser. Preachers, teachers, and Bible students will gain a strong KJV-based framework for showing that believers are not completed by religion, sacraments, law-keeping, rituals, mystical experiences, or human merit, but are already complete in the risen Lord Jesus Christ.
