The Central Vision of Paul’s Completing Ministry

In Colossians 1:25 the apostle Paul says, “I became a minister according to the stewardship of God, which was given to me for you, to complete the word of God.” To complete the word of God means to complete the divine revelation, which is the Bible, the Word of God. Without the Epistles of Paul, the divine revelation in God’s written word would not have been completed. If these Epistles were removed from the Bible, there would be a great gap, and if we do not have a proper understanding of these Epistles, we neglect a vital part of God’s revelation. Thus, we need to see the central vision of the apostle Paul’s completing ministry.
