Volume 10:10 "Once Alienated from God: Now Reconciled"

Key Verse: "Once you were alienated from God...now he has reconciled you by Christ's physical body." Col 1: 21 a and 22 b NIV

Through the sacrificial work of Jesus Christ, which we discussed on yesterday, we who were once seperated and alienated from God, are now reconciled to him! As we look today at Colossians 1:21-23: we see that:

1-We were once alienated from God; Now reconciled by Christ
21Once you were alienated from God and were enemies in your minds because of[f] your evil behavior. 22But now he has reconciled you by Christ's physical body through death

2-This reconciliation presented us holy!
22b to present you holy in his sight, without blemish and free from accusation—

3-Stay Firm in your Faith because of the Gospel.
23if you continue in your faith, established and firm, not moved from the hope held out in the gospel. This is the gospel that you heard and that has been proclaimed to every creature under heaven, and of which I, Paul, have become a servant.

Prayer: Father, I thank you that though I was seperated and alienated from you because of sin, you reconiled be to you through Jesus Christ. Help me to contimue in my faith, motivated by the good news of the Gospel.
In Jesus Name! Amen!
