Day 19 of God’s Love for Us

September 27,2017

This comes from Colossians 1:12-14 “…joyously giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified us to share in the inheritance of the saints of Light. For He rescued us from the dominion of darkness, and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.” Paul wrote this while in prison in Rome.

He is laying thin foundational roadmap of “… Five benefits God gives all believers through Christ: (1) He made us qualified to share in His inheritance; (2) He rescued us from Satan’s dominion of darkness and made us His children; (3) He brought us into His eternal kingdom;   (4) He redeemed us – bought our freedom from sin and judgement;   (5) He forgave all our sins. Thank God for what you have received in Christ.” (Footnote commentary p2099, Life Application Study Bible NASB)
