You were once dead because of your failures and your uncircumcised corrupt nature. But God Made You Alive with Christ when he forgave all our failures. He did this by erasing the charges that were brought against us by the written laws God has established. He took the charges away by nailing them to the cross. He stripped the rulers and authorities of all their power and made a public spectacle of them as he celebrated his victory in Christ. GW. The book of Colossians chapter 2 vs 13 through 15. What a wonderful explanation for what actually occurred by the death burial and Resurrection of Jesus Christ. It shows us the power the Lord has over all creation. What he can do and what we cannot do for ourselves and for this reason you should read verses 16 through 20. You will see that because of this you do not have to allow non believers to tell you how to live. This simply means you have died to the worlds way of doing things. Amen and thanks for reading my blogs. A prayer: dear Heavenly Father you made me alive by doing away with the charges against me for my sin. You stripped every Authority over me,of all their power.AMEN.So be it.
