Here’s the Mystery Hidden for Ages and Now Revealed… | Andrew Farley

Complete in Christ - Part 2
In this next installment of our “Complete in Christ” series, we explore redemption, reconciliation, and our full assurance in Christ.
We uncover the mystery Paul refers to and address false teaching and universalism. We also reflect on the practical implications of being complete in Christ and what it means to labor and strive according to God’s power at work within us.
Enjoy!
Discussion Questions for Colossians 1:21-2:6:
1. Read verse 22 and react to this statement: I am reconciled to God and holy and blameless forever.
2. Read verse 23. How does this passage respond to those who twist the meaning of this passage to promote a universal salvation? (Hint: Notice the “if” and the condition that follows.)
3. Read verses 26-27 and Colossians 2:2. What is the mystery Paul is referring to? What does this mystery mean to you personally?
4. Read verse 28. What does it mean for us to be complete in Christ? What practical implications does this have in your life? How does this help you avoid distractions?
5. Read verse 29 and react to this statement: It’s not legalism to labor and strive according to God’s power at work within me.
6. Read Colossians 2:2. In your own words, explain what is “the wealth that comes from the full assurance of understanding.”
7. Read Colossians 2:6. What attitude or approach did we have at salvation? How can we walk in that same approach today (after we’re saved)?

    I asked God many years ago to show me if I was saved, to explain it to me in a simple way and a video of Andrew Farley appeared on my youtube feed, I clicked it and a burden was off my back when he simply and directly said, that salvation is a gift from God, not something to be attained by our efforts. I did read the word constantly, same verses trying to reconcile that this was indeed a free gift but other verses out of context would bring me back under the law, but Andrew Farley sent by God for my knowledge, clarified all doubts. The Lord has people that filter the truth through so many false teachers and deception out here, I said there's got to be someone with the ultimate truth of what God means. Thank you God for Andrew.

    Dr. Andrew, I agree with on somethings you are teaching but not all. Paul teachings are a mystery. Paul said we are adopted not born again like Jesus said to Nicodemus. That was was the gospel before the gospel of grace give to Paul. Before Paul the gospel was give with the law not after Paul. Paul said we are adopted that means chosen. Galatians 4:5 To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. Ephesians 1: 5 Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, I know you do not understand the gospel you are preaching now is not gospel before Paul. Ephesians 2:5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) 8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

    @@believingtruth2839 So are you saying that after the cross believers have an inferior relationship to the Father as compared to those before the cross? or that Paul was preaching something different from the other apostles? What about John 1: 12-13 "But as many as received Him to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to the that believe on his name: who were BORN not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh , nor of the will of man but of God" or 1 John 5:1 "Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is BORN of God..." or 1 John 5: 4? Paul clearly said in 1 Corinthians 4: 15 that "in Christ Jesus I have BEGOTTEN you through the gospel". Peter said that some things Paul wrote were hard to be understood, 2 Peter: 3: 16., but he called Paul's teachings scriptures. That all the apostles were preaching the very same message, the same Gospel of Grace after the cross is clear from Galatians 2. They shook hands on it. What Peter preached to Cornelius in Acts 10: 43 was pure grace as was Paul's message at Antioch Pisidia, Acts 13: 38-39. Regardless of their terminology they were all preaching the same Gospel. Adopted , born again-you're a child of God through faith in Christ Jesus, whatever terminology you're using.

    @@user-wv2le3ch9b Not inferior but better relationship with the Father. Grace without the work of the Law. Galatians2:16 Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified. Yes Paul preached a difference gospel than the other apostles. Ephesians 3:2 If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward:3 How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words,5 Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit; In Act2:38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. They had to repeat, be baptized and then believe in name of Jesus to receive the Holy Spirit. But after Paul was save in Acts 10 when Peter preached to Cornelius Acts 10:44 While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word.45 And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost. They did not repent , or was baptized to be saved. Paul is the only apostle preached to the gentiles , all the other apostles are writing to the Jews. Grace only

    They don't recognize the fullness of identity in Christ. Did God design the new creation to be sinful? No. God designed the new creation to be unselfish and that is who we believers are.

    The fullness is something that requires us being open to discarding our preconceived philosophical lens of interpreting scripture and instead reading it as it is. **Man** says that Christians specifically are still dirty and rotten. **God** in the Bible says through Paul that we are holy, totally forgiven, blameless, a new creation, and heaven ready today. It also requires realizing that a lot of Christianese is man made. Try to talk about Jesus without Christianese. Is it hard or easy for you? Is Jesus just the sum total of your Christianese knowledge or do you know Him personally as Father and Friend?

    Also my dear friend @orangeandslinky , a couple questions :) :) :) (1) What do you think about these things? What do mean by "it doesn't take faith to believe this stuff?" (2) Do you think that Dr. Andrew Farley and I are the only ones who believe this? I know you may asking "just me and only me" about my opinion, but there's like 50,000 viewers (on the high end) in person and online that watch his preaching weekly. A good amount of those also align with this.

    Andrew Farley, you forgot to put "False" before your grace teaching. Because you are a false grace teacher. I saw you show you showing your ignorance of 1 Cor 11 on communion. And you showing your ignorance of all sins forgiven. And your ignorance on not being holy.
