Colossians 1:6b-8 Part 3 of 3

In the same way, the gospel is bearing fruit and growing throughout the whole world--just as it has been doing among you since the day you heard it and truly understood God's grace. You learned it from Epaphras, our dear fellow servant, who is a faithful minister of Christ on our behalf, and who also told us of your love in the Spirit.  

You learned it from Epaphras, our dear fellow servant 
Colossians 4:12  Epaphras, who is one of you and a servant of Christ Jesus, sends greetings. He is always wrestling in prayer for you, that you may stand firm in all the will of God, mature and fully assured. 
Philemon 23  Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus, sends you greetings.

who is a faithful minister of Christ on our behalf 
Colossians 4:7  Tychicus will tell you all the news about me. He is a dear brother and fellow servant in the Lord.

and who also told us of your love in the Spirit 
Romans 15:30  I urge you, brothers and sisters, by our Lord Jesus Christ and by the love of the Spirit, to join me in my struggle by praying to God for me.
Romans 5:5  And hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.
Galatians 5:22-23  But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
