How is the Word of God fully carried out? (Colossians 1:24-29)

Once I have read the following inscription on the window of a car “The truth is the shield of the soul.” The Lord Jesus Christ said that the truth sets us free and this truth is the Word of God. The deep knowledge of the Bible brings freedom, joy, fufilment on this earth and inheritance [...]

Jesus Christ is our life

I remember how one of the teachers told us at school that life is hidden in proteins and when scholars will manage to produce proteins in an artificial way, they will manage to produce life. We can not believe this, because the origin of life is not in proteins, but it is in God. At the [...]

It was the Father’s good pleasure for all the fullness to dwell in Jesus Christ (Colossians 1)

Who is Jesus Christ? His person and work was the subject of theological discussions and debates during centuries.
