It's All about Jesus
Cross Church

Summary
Paul teaches the Colossians that righteousness comes only through Christ, not through legalistic religious works like festivals, dietary rules, or asceticism. Believers are already righteous through Christ's imputation and must stop striving to earn God's favor through external disciplines.
Highlights
You are the righteousness of Christ, and you're not made righteous by the good things that you've done for God, but you're made righteous by the good thing that God did for you in Christ on the cross.
If God has all the surface level things of your life, but he does not have your heart, you've missed Jesus.
You are working from a place of righteousness, not for a place of righteousness.
