Paul ends chapter two by urging the Colossians to not unnecessarily submit themselves to any created things, rules, or teachings other than Christ. He does so by reminding them that in Christ they have died to these things, meaning they are no longer slaves to them. In doing so, Paul also reminds Christians today that it is futile to live according to anything that they have died to in Christ.
