and who also informed us of your love in the Spirit.
Commentary on Colossians 1:82 voices

Theophylact of Ohrid· Commentary on Colossians, 1107Patristic
Who also declared unto us your love in the Spirit. Not only their love to God, and Christ, and to all the saints, which is before mentioned, but their love to the apostle; though they had only heard of him, and of his great capacity for, and faithfulness and usefulness in preaching of the Gospel, which had greatly endeared him to them.
