Overcome the false talk and deceive matters

Colossians 2:6-15
As you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in him,  rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.
You having been buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through your faith in the working of God, who raised him from the dead.
God made you alive with Christ. He forgave us all our sins.
False argument was filtering into the Colossian church from various quarters.
It was misleading and dangerous because it was based on human teaching and not on Christ.
Christ is the One who embodies 'all the fullness' of God and in him Christians find their own fulfillment.
The mysteries of God are reveled to all in Christ. The Colossian Christians should not be made to feel inferior by anyone teaching any other message.
Watch out for people who try to dazzle you with big words and intellectual double-talk arguments.
Why?
Paul did not say what is wrong but explained that Colossian Christians have learned the truth and accepted the grace of God, let them confirm their identity before the Lord.
There are many false teaching and deceive things among this world, rooted and built up our faith in Him, strength in faith as we are taught.
How?
We are a new man chosen by the Lord, out sins are canceled by God's grace, His power over all authority in the world. Pray God gives me more knowledge to against the deceive things.
