Colossians 3:2-3“Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.” In Christ, we are deeply loved, fully accepted, empowered, and truly set free. It is important to understand all that has been given to us “In…

One of the most profound, almost unbelievable truths that we learn in The Scriptures is that we will possess/partake/share in the glory of our Lord Jesus: 2 Thessalonians 2:14 He called you to this salvation through our gospel, so that you may possess the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. This is what we will…

Today and tomorrow, we are going to explore two ideas that my seem strange to place together: freedom and glory. As we will hear, the whole creation is waiting to see us – the children of Father God – finally revealed in our “glorious freedom” (see Romans 8:21). In the Scriptures, glory and freedom are…

In Christ, through faith we have been delivered from Wrath. God’s wrath is simply His turning people over to the consequences of their own sinful choices. Jesus has delivered us from both God’s present and future wrath.

We were once enemies of God. Now, In Christ through faith, we have peace with Father God – we have been reconciled. We were reconciled to God through Jesus’ death and we will be saved by His life.

In Christ, through faith, we are forgiven. Jesus has removed our sins from us. His blood has cleansed us. This means that Father God has set us free from the guilt and penalty of our sins and He will never hold our sins against us!

We have been “purchased” by God at the price of Jesus’ blood. This is an unfamiliar concept for most of us. However, because of this redemption we have been set free from our slavery to sin and the Devil. These blessings come to us IN Christ, through faith.

Romans 3:23-24For we all have sinned and fall far short of the glory of God. But we are justified (declared righteous) freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus. This week we focus on how Jesus has set us free from our sins. He has done all that is necessary for…

We were once “sons of disobedience” and “children of wrath.” But now, In Christ, through faith, have been freed from the cruel tyranny of our old “father”—Satan—and have been placed under the love and care of our gracious and merciful Heavenly Father. We are now part of God’s family and He determined this for us,…
