“Don’t let anyone capture you with empty philosophies and high-sounding nonsense that come from human thinking and from the spiritual powers of this world, rather than from Christ. For in Christ lives all the fullness of God in a human body. So you also are complete through your union with Christ, who is the head over every ruler and authority. When you came to Christ, you were “circumcised,” but not by a physical procedure. Christ performed a spiritual circumcision—the cutting away of your sinful nature. For you were buried with Christ when you were baptized. And with him you were raised to new life because you trusted the mighty power of God, who raised Christ from the dead. You were dead because of your sins and because your sinful nature was not yet cut away. Then God made you alive with Christ, for he forgave all our sins. He canceled the record of the charges against us and took it away by nailing it to the cross. In this way, he disarmed the spiritual rulers and authorities. He shamed them publicly by his victory over them on the cross.” ‭‭Colossians‬ ‭2:8-15‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Wow! Christ Jesus has won the victory for us. He has defeated the devil and has disarmed his arsenal against us. We are children of God through Christ. The cross has made us flawless. That is utterly astonishing. Here is the Word on that: “Yet now he has reconciled you to himself through the death of Christ in his physical body. As a result, he has brought you into his own presence, and you are holy and blameless as you stand before him without a single fault.” ‭‭Colossians‬ ‭1:22‬ ‭NLT‬‬

That is dumbfounding!!!!!!!

Prayer for today: Father, in Jesus name, thank you for saving a wretch like me. Through Jesus, I am now Your child and I stand right before You. Only You could do that. I'm left speechless!!!
