Paul’s letter to the Colossians is perhaps the best overall statement on the spiritual formation of the disciple in the New Testament. I suspect this is because it was written to people whom Paul had never met and had never had the opportunity to teach. So he gives them a well-rounded presentation of exactly what we have been talking about in this chapter. Chapters 1 and 2 correspond quite closely to the first primary objective of a curriculum for Christlikeness as presented earlier. Chapters 3 and 4 correspond precisely to the second primary objective.
