Colossians 1:12-14 Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:
The salvation believers enjoy in Christ Jesus came to us through His blood. We are free from sin and judgment today because He died for us. Our sins are forgiven, we have the ability to live a holy life, and have the hope of Heaven. Did I say He loves us?
When Jesus came into our hearts He exchanged our lost condition for His perfectly righteous condition. He exchanged our separation for His closeness. Peace was declared between us and God.
The blood of Jesus is so powerful that it can take the vilest of sinners and wash them so clean that in the sight of God they are viewed as a sacred thing, spotless and beyond accusation ---not because of what we did --- but because God sees the righteousness of His beloved Son Jesus in believers.
