Colossians 2:6 is the perfect text to show us that the modern day evangelist’s altar call, inviting us to “receive Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior” is actually quite blasphemous! Treating this passage correctly, the difference is in the details. To “receive” is not to receive the individual, the Son of God, but rather to receive the message, the good news of Jesus Christ: that new management has come to help us start walking, keep walking, and stay connected by faith as we are on the path to spiritual maturity.
