Discussion Questions: Colossians 2:18-19

  1. What is the doctrine of Christian liberty? (see Second London Confession, chapter 21)
  2. Imagine being in a church where man-made rules and regulations were imposed on you? What effect would this have on your soul?
  3. Does that doctrine of Christian liberty teach that there is no law for the Christian? Discuss. 
  4. What did Paul mean when he said, “Let no one disqualify you, insisting on asceticism and worship of angels, going on in detail about visions, puffed up without reason by his sensuous mind…” (Colossians 2:18, ESV). In other words, what were the false teachers in Colossae teaching? 
  5. How does submitting to man-made rules and regulations sever us from Christ, the Head?
  6. Why must we go directly to Christ for our salvation and our sanctification? 
  7. How do you plan to apply this text to your life today?
