! I.      Let’s go on to COL 3:16
!! A.  1st of all this verse sounds a lot like Eph 5:18-19.
(turn there)
!!! 1.    /Col 3:16/ also says, /“//psalms// and //hymns// and //spiritual songs//,”/ (/same thing/)
!!! 2.    /However/, /Eph 5:18/ says, /“Be filled with the spirit.”/
!! B.  Now turn back to Col 3:16 he says, “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom.”*[1]*
!!! 1.
The /Word of Christ/ /is/ the /Word of God/.
!!!! a)    The /early/ /apostles/ were /guided/ /by/ /the Holy/ /Spirit of God/ to /record/ the /Words of Christ/, /and/ /they were/ /inspired/ to /write God’s Word/.
!!! 2.    /The words of the/ /Bible/, /God’s written Word/, are to /dwell in believers/, by /study/, /meditation/, and /application/ /of the Word/.
!!!! a)    /It then becomes/ a /permanent/ /abiding/ /part/ of /one’s life/.
!!!! b)    /When/ the /words of Christ/ /become/ /part of a believer’s nature/, they /spring forth/ /naturally/ /and/ /daily in/ /psalms/ (songs from the Book of Psalms), /hymns/ (other songs of praise), and /spiritual songs/ (as opposed to secular odes) /and as the/ /NIV/ /puts it //“with gratitude.”/*[2]*
!! C.  Now the Word of God can be abiding in your heart in another way and that is thru a spoken Word of God.
!!! 1.    /God is going to speak to your heart/ and /Paul says/ /“Let the Word of Christ or the Word of God dwell in your heart richly.”/
!!!! a)    /Richly/ also /means/ /abundantly/.
!! D.  He adds “In all wisdom.”
!!! 1.    /Probably/ the /best way to say it/ is that /we are to teach and admonish one another/ /in all wisdom/.
!
II.
COL 3:17
!! A.  There are 2 things that I want to talk about this verse
!! B.  1st Verse 17 is an all-inclusive rule by which to judge our conduct as Christians.
!!! 1.    /Young/ /people/ /today/ especially have a /difficult time/ /deciding/ /whether certain things are right or wrong/.
!!! 2.    /This verse/, committed to memory, /can prove to be the key/ for /unlocking/ /many/ of these /problems/.
!!!! a)    The /great test/ should be: /Can I do this in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ?/
!!!! b)    /Would this be to His glory?/
!!!! c)     /Could I expect His blessing to rest on it?/
!!!! d)    /Would I want to be doing it when He comes back again?/
!!! 3.    /Notice/ that /this test should apply/ to the /words we speak/ /and/ to the /deeds we do/.*[3]*
!! C.  The 2nd thing is that what ever we are doing we should do it as though we are doing it for the Lord Jesus Christ.
!
III.
Col 3:18
!! A.  Wives are to submit to their husbands as their heads.
!!! 1.    /This command was/ /not limited to Paul’s day/, as is obvious from /two reasons/ he /gave elsewhere/:
!!!! a)    /(1)/ the /order/ /of/ /Creation/ (/man/ /was/ /created first/, /then woman/; /1 Tim.
2:13/); (2) /the/ /order/ /within/ /the/ /Godhead/ (/Christ submits to the Father/; 1 Cor.
11:3).
!!!! b)    /Submission does not mean inferiority/; it /simply means/ that /someone/ /has to/ /make/ the /final decision/.
The /husband/ /is head of the home/.
!!!!! (1)  If he may be thought of as the “president,” she is the “vice-president.”
!! B.  Of course there are moral limits to this submission; it is only as is fitting in the Lord.
!!! 1.    /Just/ /as/ /obedience to government/ /is commanded/ (Rom.
13:1; Titus 3:1; 1 Peter 2:13) /but/ /only insofar/ /as government takes its place/ /under God/ (Ex.
1; Dan.
3; 6), /even so a/ /wife’s submission/ /to her husband is/ /only/ /“//in the Lord/./”/
!!! 2.    /That is/, /she is/ /not obligated/ to /follow/ her /husband’s/ /leadership/ /if it conflicts/ /with specific scriptural commands.//*[4]*//
/
!
IV.    Col 3:19
!! A.  Husbands are responsible to love their wives (as Christ loved the church; Eph.
5:28-29).
!!! 1.    /So they are to/ /exercise loving leadership/, /not dictatorial dominion./
!!!! a)    /Perhaps/ /husbands need this reminder/ to /be tender and loving as much/ /or/ /more/ /than wives need/ the /reminder/ /not to usurp authority/ /over their husbands/.
!!!! b)    /Assuming absolute authority/ /will only/ /embitter/ /one’s/ /wife/, /not endear her./
!!! 2.    The /NIV/ actually /has this/ /translated incorrectly/.
The /NIV/ /uses the words/ /“be harsh”/ /it is more/ /literally/, /“make bitter.”/
!! B.  Wives, are like tender and sensitive flowers (cf. 1 Peter 3:7), may wilt under authoritarian dominance but blossom with tender loving care.
!!! 1.    /So in a maturing/ /marriage/ the /husband exercises/ /compassionate care/ /and his/ /wife responds/ /in/ /willing submission/ /to/ /this/ /loving leadership/./*[5]*//
/
!! C.      Col 3:20-21
!!! 1.    /When he says/, /“Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged”/.*[6]*
!!! 2.    This /literally means/ do /not continually harass/ /your/ /children/ /by/ /causing/ /them to be/ /enraged/.
!!!! a)    /Do not deliberately/ /stir them up to wrath/.
!!!! b)    /This has to do with/ /going over board/.

V.  Col 3:22-25
