Colossians 2

The mysteries of God are those things that cannot be learned by reason, deduction, or the teachings of men. They are the things that must be learned by revelation. A person can look at the world and from that figure there must be a God, but to be saved and exalted takes revelation that gives knowledge of those things that God reveals through his prophets. Paul urges the members of the church not to follow the teachings men, to not have will worship or modes of worship designed by men, to worship angels or change the sabbath. He also says that just as Christ was buried and came forth a new person, we are buried in baptism to come forth a new person in the image of Christ and his resurrection.
