"Because of this, from the day we received news of you, we have not ceased praying to GOD for you, that you may attain the full knowledge of HIS will, through all the gifts of wisdom and spiritual understanding.
May your lifestyle be worthy of the LORD and completely pleasing to HIM. May you bear fruit in every good work and grow in the knowledge of GOD.
May you become strong, in everything, by a sharing of the glory of GOD, so that you may have great endurance and persevere in joy.
Constantly give thanks to the FATHER, who has empowered us to receive our share in the inheritance of the saints, in HIS kingdom of light. HE rescued us from the power of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of HIS beloved Son. In HIM, we are redeemed and forgiven." - Colossians 1:9-14
(Faith opens for us the way to true knowledge: precisely what the Colossians are looking for; through this faith GOD has already placed us in the kingdom of light.
HE transferred us to the kingdom of HIS beloved Son. While the Colossians are interested in an invisible world of supernatural forces, where luminous powers battle with those in darkness [see Ephesians 1:21], Paul immediately clarified the situation: there is nothing other than the Power of Darkness and the Kingdom of the Son.)
