How does the sufficiency of Christ in everything we do translate to our modern 21st-century lives?

Getting Started

We are moving through the capstone quickly. There are a lot of things to complete for this course. One thing we should remember is to do our best. Colossians 3:17(new tab) says, “And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him” (English Standard Version, 2001/2016). The Apostle Paul was encouraging the church at Colossae to put their whole being into the work they were doing and give thanks in all they do. We should be stimulated to do the same in this endeavor.
