Paul breaks down Colossians two into two parts. After commanding the Colossians to “walk in Christ” in verse 6, Paul spends the first half of the chapter describing the sufficiency of Christ to enable believers to do so. In Colossians 2:9-10, Paul explains how God is filled in Christ, how believers are filled in Christ, the difference between those two kinds of fillings, and its implications for the role of depending on Christ in the Christian life.
