The world is full of voices telling us what to believe, who we should be and where true fulfilment can be found. Colossians 2:8–15 reminds us not to be taken captive by ideas that lead us away from Christ. In Jesus, we are made complete. Our sins are forgiven. The debt that stood against us has been cancelled and nailed to the cross. The powers of darkness have been defeated. We do not need to earn God’s love or search elsewhere for spiritual fullness. Everything we need for salvation, forgiveness and new life is found in Jesus. The debt is cancelled. The enemy is defeated. Christ is victorious.
