Book of Colossians - Chapter 2 - Verse 20

When Paul wrote to the Colossians, he was addressing the tendency of some Christians to go back to following worldly rules and regulations instead of living according to the teachings of Christ. In this verse, he is urging believers not to submit themselves to man-made laws and traditions, but to instead live in accordance with the freedom and grace that comes from being united with Christ. By dying to the ways of the world and being raised with Christ, Christians are no longer bound by the legalistic rules and regulations that the world imposes. Paul is questioning why believers would continue to subject themselves to these ordinances when they have been set free through their faith in Christ. This verse serves as a reminder to believers to live in the freedom that comes from being united with Christ, rather than being burdened by the rules and regulations of the world.
