Summary

We examine in Colossians 2:16–23 how man-made religion threatens believers by adding rules, mysticism, and traditions that distract from Christ. Paul warns the Colossians not to let others judge or disqualify them through Old Testament regulations, ascetic practices, angel-worship, or claims of special visions. The passage urges Christians to cling to Christ alone, because only He provides genuine spiritual growth and true transformation.
