The scripture we will recite together in meditation today is from the New Testament, Colossians 1:13-14. The apostle Paul wrote to the church in Colosse from prison, thanking God for their faith, love, and the hope that is in heaven. Although Paul was physically separated from his brothers in Colosse, his heart was with them, and he often prayed and interceded for them. Dear listeners, pray that God may give us a clearer vision of the power of salvation in Jesus Christ through Paul's words of encouragement to the church members, so that we may not be influenced by heresies, but preach the truth by the grace of God, and be strengthened in our faith.
