Description

This set includes the verses that we will be quizzed over in the week of 4/14/2021. Verse 9: Means when we are saved as ("since the day we heard it", it being the Gospel) should pray for the nonsaved that they might know God, and have understanding in their spiritual journey. Verse 10: Continues the prayer that they will make positive steps forward in their spiritual walk. Verse 11: Also continues what we should pray for in our and other's spiritual walk.

Although in context the verses are directly referring to the time in which Paul (and Timothy) are writing the letter to the church of Colossae, however, this is also something we should do as Christians. Not only should we pray for others to be saved, but also specifically for the development of their faith. We commonly disregard praying for other's faith due to emotions, however, we must not act on these emotions. Will there be people who you hate? yes, but we still must choose to love them and pray for them. This can be applied to anyone, some examples are friends, family, employees, boss, president, world leaders, etc. Although we may not agree or like someone, we as Christians still must show Christ's love and compassion to everyone throughout our lives.

Colossians

1 9 For this reason we also, from the day we heard about you, have not ceased praying for you and asking God to fill you with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding,
10 so that you may live worthily of the Lord and please him in all respects - bearing fruit in every good deed, growing in the knowledge of God,
11 being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might for the display of all patience and steadfastness, joyfully
