They knew the grace of God in truth (কলসিয়ান 1:6)
The saints at Colosse accepted the Gospel of Jesus Christ. When they heard the words of the gospel and learned about Jesus Christ, the Son of God and Savior of humanity, they believed the words they heard. They believed that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and the Savior of humanity.

What’s grace not?
What is the grace of God not? The grace of God is NOT a free card to keep sinning. When you were baptized, you laid down your old life as a sinner. Therefore you shall no longer walk as a sinner.
It is a choice that you have made yourself. No one forced you to do it. You’ve decided to believe and lay down your own old life and become a নতুন সৃষ্টি in Jesus Christ.
A new creation in Jesus Christ will not return to his old former life as a sinner. Because that means that you will live in bondage of sin and death again.
You are a new creation in Jesus Christ and have the Holy Spirit abiding in you. Because of the grace of God, you have the ability and power to say না to sin.
Let sin not rule your life, but become a ruler over sin.
