Colossians 2:13 And you who were dead in trespasses and in the uncircumcision of your flesh (your sensuality, your sinful carnal nature), [God] brought to life together with [Christ], having [freely] forgiven us all our transgressions,

14 Having cancelled and blotted out and wiped away the handwriting of the note (bond) with its legal decrees and demands which was in force and stood against us (hostile to us). This [note with its regulations, decrees, and demands] He set aside and cleared completely out of our way by nailing it to [His] cross.

15[God] disarmed the principalities and powers that were ranged against us and made a bold display and public example of them, in triumphing over them in Him and in it [the cross].

God is The Judge (Acts 17:31)

At one point in time before Jesus saved us all, Satan held us captive through our sin. Satan was like the “prosecuting attorney” informing The Judge of all our wrongdoings.  Since God is a fair Judge and there was no “defense attorney” we all lost the case and were destined for death (not life) in hell.

 

Thank God we now have a “defense attorney” named Jesus. Jesus took our place and died on the cross for our sins. Jesus placed the sins of the world on His shoulders. When Jesus placed His sacrificial unblemished blood upon the mercy seat of God, we were completely forgiven of all our sins. So even if we do sin, when we ask for forgiveness, He (God) is faithful to forgive us of our sins.

 

Good News!
