1:21-23 Paul applies the truth of 1:15-20 to the Colossian Christians. As people who have been reconciled to God, they enjoy a new spiritual status and need to stand firm in the truth they have been taught. 1:21 The phrase once far away from God probably refers to their condition as Gentiles (see Eph 2:12).
