Colossians and Philemon - Bible Study Guide (Print)

An in-depth study guide on the books of Colossians and Philemon by Bob Martin.

This study will be on the books of Colossians and Philemon. These epistles are tied together because of the people who are involved. In the book of Colossians we find Philemon to be an important and influential member of the congregation at Colossae. The epistle of Philemon is a short, personal correspondence to Philemon from the apostle Paul. This letter to Philemon will address an attitude that is essential to all Christians and at the same time extends, to all who read it, exceptional insight into the providential working of God in the affairs of mankind and especially towards those who are His elect. When the precepts of these two books are combined you receive an extraordinary view of how the Christian is justified; how the Christian should live. And it will reveal some of the ways God moves providentially to "work all things together for good to those who love Him and are called according to His purpose' (Romans8:28).
