Paul has exerted much effort in developing their purity and their understanding of the gospel. Paul continues to encourage the believers in Colossae and Laodicea to understand that Christ is God and that he lives in believers, so they should live in the same way they received him.

This was a city very close to Colossae where there was another church for which Paul was praying.
