Discussion Questions: Colossians 2:20-23

  1. When we talk about the Christian’s walk, what are we referring to?
  2. How was Israel’s walk in the wilderness (after their redemption from Egypt and before entering Canaan) a picture of our walk in Christ? What can we learn from them?
  3. Colossians 2:6-4:6 is about the Christian’s walk. In Colossians 3:1-4:6, Paul teaches us how to walk. In Colossians 2:8, 16-23, Paul tells us how not to walk. How is the Christian not to walk?
  4. What’s the problem with these manmade rules and regulations? I can think of two major problems. The first is hinted at in Colossians 2:8, 17, 19. The second is stated in Colossians 2:23. 
  5. Why must the Christian walk be rooted in Christ?
  6. Practically speaking, how does a Christian remain rooted in Christ?
  7. Practically speaking, what does a walk that is pleasing to the Lord look like?
