In Colossians 3:14–17, Pastor Josh teaches that the Christian life is built on four essential pillars: love, peace, truth, and glory. He explains that love—specifically agape, or selfless, sacrificial love—is the glue that holds together all other virtues like kindness, humility, and forgiveness. Without genuine love rooted in the heart, even spiritual actions are empty. Pastor Josh emphasizes that the peace of Christ should govern our hearts, offering a supernatural calm that transcends circumstances and anxiety. It’s a peace that comes from trusting God’s promises, not from external control.
He goes on to challenge believers to let the word of Christ dwell richly within them, shaping their mindset and fueling authentic worship. Pastor Josh reminds listeners that God’s Word is both a defense against temptation and a source of spiritual wisdom. Lastly, he calls the Church to live for Christ’s glory, stating that everything we say and do should reflect the name and character of Jesus. This message is a clear and compelling call to walk in the new identity believers have been given—marked by love, governed by peace, rooted in truth, and lived for God’s glory.
