Jesus, the Supreme Lord Sacrificed Himself on the Cross for mankind Colossians 1:19-20 (NAS) “19For it was the Father's good pleasure for all the fullness to dwell in Him, 20and through Him to reconcile all things to Himself, having made peace through the blood of His cross; through Him, I say, whether things on earth or things in heaven.”
Paul’s Exhortation 1. Remember the way you were saved – Colossians 1:21-22 (NAS) “ 21And although you were formerly alienated and hostile in mind, engaged in evil deeds, 22yet He has now reconciled you in His fleshly body through death, in order to present you before Him holy and blameless and beyond reproach-- ”

Acts 2:37-38(NAS) “ 37Now when they heard this, they were pierced to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, "Brethren, what shall we do?" 38Peter said to them, "Repent, and each of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.”
Paul’s Exhortation 3. Remember the true gospel – Colossians 1:23b (NAS) “ and not moved away from the hope of the gospel that you have heard, which was proclaimed in all creation under heaven, and of which I, Paul, was made a minister.”
