“For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.” Colossians 1:13-14
The good news of the Gospel is God Himself has rescued us from the dominion of darkness; therefore, delivering us from the ruling power of sin. The good news doesn’t end there; God has brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves. God has transferred us; he has moved us from one place to another. He has taken us from Satan’s dark realm and placed us into the bright light of Jesus’ kingdom.
God’s work of salvation includes redemption and forgiveness. To redeem someone means “to buy them back and set them free.” Jesus’ death was the price paid to buy us back and set us free from sin. Because of Christ’s death, we are set free from both the penalty and the power of sin. He has forgiven us, which is the canceling of the debt of our sin; something we could never repay. Thanks to God we are redeemed and forgiven.
About Me
Isaiah 43:19-21
"See I am doing a new thing! Now it spings up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the desert and streams in the wasteland. The wild animals honor me, the jackals and the owls, because I provide water in the desert and streams in the wasteland, give drink to my people, my chosen, the people I formed for myself that they may proclaim my praise."
