Colossians 2:16-19 (NASB)

16 Therefore no one is to act as your judge in regard to food or drink or in respect to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath day— 17 things which are a mere shadow of what is to come; but the substance belongs to Christ. 18 Let no one keep defrauding you of your prize by delighting in self-abasement and the worship of the angels, taking his stand on visions he has seen, inflated without cause by his fleshly mind, 19 and not holding fast to the head, from whom the entire body, being supplied and held together by the joints and ligaments, grows with a growth which is from God.

The Big Idea: We must not add any type of works or worship to what the Lord Jesus Christ has already accomplished on the Cross for our eternal salvation.

Outline: Two wrong ways to salvation that you must reject, and the One right way that you must embrace for salvation.

Wrong Way #1 – Ritualistic religious works (2:16-17)
Wrong Way #2 – Seemingly Spiritual worship (2:18)

The Only Way – Clinging to Christ alone (2: 19)
