Without proper knowledge, anything can be accepted. Or we could say, without the proper foundation, that which is built is subject to problems in the future. The building may lean funny. It may have uneven floors or walls. It may even crumble and fall. The knowledge, then, the knowledge, is of God’s will. Indeed, that’s what this letter is setting before us, whether Paul realizes this fact at the time of writing it or not. This letter will work to instruct the Colossians in the knowledge of God’s will. And not just them obviously, but believers for thousands of years afterward in the future, which is an incredible thing to consider. Notice that the knowledge comes “in all spiritual wisdom and understanding.” Therefore, the topic being discussed isn’t earthly knowledge. It’s not self-help knowledge, for better life skills or something like that, though it will provide that. It just simply isn’t that. The actual knowledge being discussed is knowledge of “his will.” That is, God’s will.
