Let The Peace Of Christ Rule In Your Hearts

Colossians 3:1-17
Key Verse   3:15 

“Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you  were called to
peace. And be thankful.”

1.  What can we know about the peace that Jesus gives? (15) (Ro 5:1; Jn 14:6; Jn 20: 21) Why
can life’s journey with Jesus (Immanuel) be called a joyful Journey? (Isa 7:14; Mt 1:23;jn 14:25-
27)

2.  What is the condition of those who have gospel centered faith? (Col 2:20a; 3:1)

3.  Where should we set our hearts? Our minds? (3:1-4; Ro 8:32;Heb 12:2) What does this
mean?  What is our hope? (4) 

4  What belongs to our earthly nature? In what sense are these things (especially greed) idols?
(5) Why is it imperative that we put these things to death?(6) What are the practices of the old
self that destroy the peace and unity of the body? (7-9) 

5.  What characterizes the new self? Read 10-14. How do these things reflect the image of
Christ the Creator? Why should there be no human barriers in the Body of Christ? (11) What
should be our mind-set toward one another? (12-14; Php 2:5? What is most important? (14)
How is this possible?

 Col 3:10-14
10 and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its
Creator. 11 Here there is no Greek or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian,
slave or free, but Christ is all, and is in all. 12 Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and
dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.
13 Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another.
Forgive as the Lord forgave you. 14 And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them
all together in perfect unity. NIV

6.  Read verse 15. What do you think it means that Peace of Christ or Shalom rules in the heart:
What does it mean that we are members of one body called to peace? What is the importance
of being thankful?
 Col 3:15-16
15 Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called
to peace. And be thankful. NIV

7.  Read verses 16-17. What do we learn from these verses about the place of the word
(message) and singing in restoring the rule of the peace of Christ in our hearts. Who helps us
on the joyful journey? (Jn14:26;Isa7:14; 9:6)

 Col 3:16-17

16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all
wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to
God. 17 And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord
Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him. NIV
