Pastor Bell's Words To Live By

When you were stuck in your old sin-dead life, you were incapable of responding to God. God brought you alive—right along with Christ! Think of it! All sins forgiven, the slate wiped clean, that old arrest warrant cancelled and nailed to Christ’s cross. He stripped all the spiritual tyrants in the universe of their sham authority at the Cross and marched them naked through the streets (Colossians 2:13-15 The Message).

For the apostle Paul, what Jesus did on the cross was the most fantastic thing ever to be achieved by an individual.  So we are encouraged to trust in Christ for everything today.

Firstly, he gave every human being the ability to respond to God again. So sin is no longer in control if you choose Christ.  Secondly, he has wiped the slate clean. That is every thing you did in the past has been forgiven, EVERYTHING! Jesus nailed it to the cross and covered it with his blood.  And finally, all the spirits that held you captive and caused you to do the things you did not want to do, have been stripped of their power and authority and exposed by Jesus. This is what he was doing in the spiritual realm while his physical body was dead.

So today rejoice for Jesus has conquered all.

Pray with me: Dear Father thank you for the cross in Jesus’ name amen.

Read Colossians 2:6-19
