Col 1:21-23
This includes you who were once far away from God. You were his enemies, separated from him by your evil thoughts and actions. Yet now he has reconciled you to himself through the death of Christ in his physical body. As a result, he has brought you into his own presence, and you are holy and blameless as you stand before him without a single fault.
But you must continue to believe this truth and stand firmly in it. Don’t drift away from the assurance you received when you heard the Good News. The Good News has been preached all over the world, and I, Paul, have been appointed as God’s servant to proclaim it.
- We were separated from God by our evil thoughts and actions.
- He, God, has reconciled you to Himself through Christ’s death.
- You have been brought into His presence
- You are holy and blameless before God- totally faultless
- But. This is important.
- Continue to believe this
- Stand firm in this belief (faith)
- Don’t drift from assurance
This is the key to walking out this faith in Christ. It is reliant on our believing we are God’s, standing firm in it even in those times we don’t feel like it.
Grace and peace
