Colossians 1:22 (a) This word has a very interesting meaning for the Christian. It means that there will be no final examinations at the end of the journey. Our Lord JESUS is so effective in His work in the soul that the person is completely prepared in this life for the entrance into GOD's presence. The Christian does not get an examination, when he dies, to see where he is going. That point is settled the moment JESUS CHRIST becomes the Lord and the Saviour of the believer.
