About the Book of Colossians Quiz

Paul wrote Colossians from prison to a church he had never visited, founded by his co-worker Epaphras in the small town of Colossae. The believers were being pressured by teachers who mixed the gospel with special rules, festivals and the worship of angels. Paul answers with one of the Bible's highest pictures of Christ: the image of the invisible God, the one through whom all things were made and in whom the fullness of God lives. Because believers have been raised with Christ, they are to set their hearts on things above and put on compassion, kindness and love. This quiz covers all 4 chapters, and every answer comes with the chapter and verse.
