Matthew Poole and continuators on Colossians 2:6

6 As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord , so walk ye in him .

Having caution'd them against sophistical seducers, and commended them for that order and sound faith he understood to be amongst them, he here infers, an exhortation to continuance in both, especially in the latter with respect to the person of Christ according as he had before described him; for he doth not say as ye have received the doctrine of Christ or concerning Christ, but as ye have received Christ himself as, Ioh. 1.11, 12. & 1 Ioh. 5.11, 12. in whom is all treasured up for Salvation, he adds not onely Iesus (who came to save his people from their sins) but the Lord, intimamating they should not therefore suffer any rules of faith or life to be imposed upon them by any other whatsoever.

But should be perswaded to abide in him whom they had embraced and order their conversation according to his mind, 1 Thess. 4.1. knowing that he is the way, the truth, and the life, Ioh. 14.6. being led by his spirit, and deriving vertue to go on in this orderly walk and persevere in the faith.
