“We proclaim Him, admonishing every man and teaching every man with all wisdom, so that we may present every man complete in Christ.” (Colossians 1:28, NASB)

Paul’s message reveals to people the plan of God that had not been uncovered to previous generations. That is, the inclusion the Gentiles in the household of God through the indwelling of Christ (1:26-27).

That is part of Paul’s service for Christ. Once he has led people to Christ, the process of instruction or discipleship should commence so that they might grow to spiritual maturity (v.28). Paul acknowledges that this is not an easy task. It requires much hard work.

In the same way, our service as Christians is to lead people to Christ and help them grow in their relationship with Him, so that in turn, they might do same to others.
