To God’s holy people in Colossae, the faithful brothers and sisters in Christ:
Grace and peace to you from God our Father.
(v2, NIV)
This church in Colossae had in it followers of Jesus Christ. These are the people whom Paul addresses. Though there were a number of issues that were present at this church, there were still some that were true servants of the Lord Jesus Christ. It is encouraging that though these people were surrounded by such opposition and false teaching, they still remained faithful as Paul describes them.
Grace and peace was a common greeting of Paul. This is in fact Paul's standard greeting and found in all thirteen of his epistles.
