Table Talk

Table Talk

1) How is salvation instantaneous? How is salvation a long process? What does it mean to be “rooted and built up in him”? How can you become more established in the faith? What causes you to abound in thanksgiving? How might your reasons compare with Paul’s? (2:6-7)

2) What are some “human traditions” or “elemental spirits” that might deceive us away from Christ? (v. 8) If Christ has all the fullness of deity and we are filled in him, what confidence does that give us for the challenges of life? (2:9-10)

3) How is the circumcision of Christ similar to the Jewish action of physical circumcision? How is it different? How does our answer to these questions make a big difference in whether or not we baptize infants? (2:11-12) Why does Paul emphasize that faith is the means of our burial with Christ and being raised with Him?

4) List all that God has done for the believer in verses 13 and 14. Why does Paul in verse 12 appear to emphasize our faith and then in verses 13-14 appear to emphasize that we have nothing to do with our salvation? How should the disarming of evil spiritual rulers and authorities make a difference in your daily life?
