Let no one cheat you of your reward, taking delight in false humility and worship of angels Col. 2:18
In today’s verse, Apostle Paul was warning the church of Colossae about false preachers who would pass judgments, that they will be disqualified for going to heaven and convince them to follow man-made rules and regulations and to make angels as the medium to reach God and worship them. This is a serious warning even for today. The Church is Satan’s active mission field. He works very subtly in every believer’s life attempting to distract one’s focus from God to self, by displaying false humility, to secure the relationship with God.
As believers, we are separated from worldly rules and regulations, but now we are under the headship of our Lord Jesus Christ. We belong to Christ, and He must have preeminence, in all things. May we be rooted in the sound doctrine of Christ, that we might not be affected by any false preaching and pursue a living relationship with Christ and serve Him with ultimate obedience to the Word of God, with delight.
