Not Hanging on by Our Fingertips

There's a commitment to the gospel. This is another thing that marks out the New Testament believer. Paul is talking a lot about the Gospel, he's going to talk a lot about the Gospel in this particular book of Colossians, but he says a few things about this Gospel.
