Colossians 4:18 - The Importance of Paul to Christianity - Colossians Chapter 4 #7
Paul, the persecutor of the church, became one if its greatest defenders. A study of his life brings encouragement to the Christian and clarity to those who have doubts. His life gives us an example of enduring faith through adversity. Paul had nothing to gain by preaching the gospel; that makes his life compelling evidence for the doubter. His writing focuses on Christ and His all-sufficiency for the faither; this is in stark contrast to the writing of James.

Pastor Melissa Scott exposed the truth about The Importance of Paul to Christianity
Colossians 4 King James Version
1 Masters, give unto your servants that which is just and equal; knowing that ye also have a Master in heaven.
2 Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving;
3 Withal praying also for us, that God would open unto us a door of utterance, to speak the mystery of Christ, for which I am also in bonds:
4 That I may make it manifest, as I ought to speak.
5 Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time.
6 Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man.
7 All my state shall Tychicus declare unto you, who is a beloved brother, and a faithful minister and fellowservant in the Lord:
8 Whom I have sent unto you for the same purpose, that he might know your estate, and comfort your hearts;
9 With Onesimus, a faithful and beloved brother, who is one of you. They shall make known unto you all things which are done here.
10 Aristarchus my fellowprisoner saluteth you, and Marcus, sister's son to Barnabas, (touching whom ye received commandments: if he come unto you, receive him;)
11 And Jesus, which is called Justus, who are of the circumcision. These only are my fellowworkers unto the kingdom of God, which have been a comfort unto me.
12 Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ, saluteth you, always labouring fervently for you in prayers, that ye may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God.
13 For I bear him record, that he hath a great zeal for you, and them that are in Laodicea, and them in Hierapolis.
14 Luke, the beloved physician, and Demas, greet you.
15 Salute the brethren which are in Laodicea, and Nymphas, and the church which is in his house.
16 And when this epistle is read among you, cause that it be read also in the church of the Laodiceans; and that ye likewise read the epistle from Laodicea.
17 And say to Archippus, Take heed to the ministry which thou hast received in the Lord, that thou fulfil it.
18 The salutation by the hand of me Paul. Remember my bonds. Grace be with you. Amen.

Colossians 4:7-8 - Take Heed to the Ministry; Fulfill Your Calling - Colossians 4 #6
Every ministry needs the support of fellow laborers. Paul memorialized the names of some of those who helped him in his ministry; some stayed committed and faithful, and others eventually flaked out. It will take committed people willing to answer the call and step up to the plate for this ministry to carry out the vision for it.

Colossians 4:2-11 - Called to the Opportunity of a Lifetime - Colossians Chapter 4 # 5
Paul understood that he could not do the work of the ministry alone. In Colossians 4, he mentions the names of several fellow laborers who helped him to shoulder the load. God is still calling for fellow laborers today, and He’s given us the opportunity of a lifetime to step up to the plate and respond to the call to spread the good news: the gospel of our salvation through Jesus Christ!

Colossians 4:2 - Continue in Prayer: Praying in the Holy Spirit - Colossians Chapter 4 #4
We pray to the Father by the mechanism of the Holy Spirit, who helps us stay focused, brings order, guides us in all truth, and gives us the burden of what to pray for. It is not natural for us to pray; the Spirit makes intercession for us because we don’t know what to pray for or how to pray. We should reflect on how we pray and what we pray about so we can have good communication with our Father.

Colossians 4:2 Continue in Prayer: Praying to the Father through the Son - Colossians Ch 4 #3
We pray to the Father through Christ, who opens the door to God for us as our High Priest. In the Old Testament, God appointed priests for men, but now the institution of the priesthood is done away with. We do not need a human to be our mediator because we have Christ. We have direct access to God through grace. God wants us to take our prayers boldly to His throne and come to Him with prayers from the heart.

Colossians 4:2 Continue in Prayer: Praying to the Father - Colossians Ch 4 #2
Christ taught us to address God as our Father when we pray. Through Christ, we have a new relationship with God; we have the kind of access that comes from being His children, partakers in the Sonship of Christ. We are instructed to ask, to seek, and to knock until He gives us what is in His will for us. Our prayers should be direct, sincere, and simple.
