Having reminded the church of the preeminent Christ, He who is before all things and in whom all things hold together, Paul moves on to consider how false teachers compare to him. All treasures of wisdom and knowledge are to be found in this Christ, which means that mere men cannot teach anything that would be new or unknown to the Lord. It is the gospel of Christ that has saved them and cancelled their debts, and no new teaching can compare with this glorious reality. Rather than trusting in empty philosophies or submitting to regulations that bring unwarranted harm or neglect to the body, Paul wants the church to trust in Christ, in whom they are dead to the elements of this world.
