WHO WE ARE IN CHRIST
part 8- We are forgiven!
Colossians 1:13-14
Who has delivered us from the power of darkness, and has translated us into the kingdom of His dear Son:
In whom we have redemption through His blood, the firstborn of every creature!
Our sin has a high price- not only to us in a personal way - but also to those around us - you cannot sin without consequences - even if you don't see them right away - our sin cost us our very lives - we now have to die physically - before the fall of Adam and Eve we where to live here forever -this world was perfect- paradise -but sin took it all away - look at the lives of those who have not been redeemed by the blood -they are steeped in sin and they have no escape but through the blood of JESUS - we must come to the Father through the Son- this is the only passage way there is - we are forgiven and set free in Christ- this is good news - perhaps the best news of all -that the darkness of sin no longer has hold on us if we trust Jesus -the flesh still hangs around until our last breath and we will battle with it until then- all of us fall short -all of can and often do sin - but God has so much better plans for us then we have - He set us free and redeemed us so we could be free to enter into His presence and one day live with Him forever-
We have this promise that because Christ died for our sin- HE took the death that we all deserve away - this is the second death -the death of the spirit- without Christ we would all have to face this death-
Lets be thankful today of who we are in CHRIST our LORD!
A SIDE NOTE:
JESUS CHRIST DIED FOR YOU AND ME - OUR SINS PLACED HIM ON THE CROSS BUT HIS LOVE FOR US KEPT HIM THERE - THE POWER OF DARKNESS NO LONGER CAN HAVE A HOLD ON OUR LIVES - LETS WORSHIP GOD IN SUCH A WAY THAT BRINGS HIM HONOR!
WHO ARE YOU IN CHRIST? FORGIVEN!
