Thus Paul put into words his desire for the Colossian believers. How high the ideal that these words hold before the follower of Christ! They show the wonderful possibilities of the Christian life and make it plain that there is no limit to the blessings that the children of God may receive. Constantly increasing in a knowledge of God, they may go on from strength to strength, from height to height in Christian experience, until by "His glorious power" they are made "meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light."

Så giver Paulus udtryk for sine ønsker for de troende i Kolossæ. Hvor er det et højt ideal, disse ord holder op for Kristi efterfølgere! De viser det kristne livs vidunderlige muligheder og gør det klart, at der ikke findes grænser for, hvilke velsignelser Guds børn kan modtage. Når de stadig vokser i kundskab om Gud, vil de gå fra kraft til kraft, fra højde til højde i deres erfaringer som kristne, indtil de "bliver skikkede til at få del i de helliges arvelod i lyset."
