Full Text:
Paul is not afflicted by our contemporary assumptions that music is decorative, while preaching is formative. As if to remind the Colossian believers that one of the ways to allow the word of Christ to dwell in them richly is to sing the Christ hymn together. Paul lists songs as one of the ways to teach and admonish each other. “Teach and warn each other BY singing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs” (Colossians 3:16b).
—Glenn Packiam, “Singing Our Way to Virtue: The Christ Hymn and Moral Formation in Colossians” (Biblical Worship section, Evangelical Theological Society, November 2020)
