Colossians 1:12-13 (TPT)Your hearts can soar with joyful gratitude when you think of how God made you worthy to receive the glorious inheritance freely given to us by living in the light. He has rescued us completely from the tyrannical rule of darkness and has translated us into the kingdom realm of his beloved Son.
Col 1:12-13 (Nkjv) giving thanks unto the Father, who has qualified us to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in the light. Who has delivered us from the power of darkness…
Worthy, qualified rescued and delivered! That is who we are if we’re born again believers in the Lord Jesus Christ. Isn’t that wonderful?!
I’ve given us two translations of these verses as it really helps us understand them better and will help our faith grow. God says He’s not only made us worthy but He’s qualified us to receive the inheritance He’s provided. Jesus did that for us! He says He has completely delivered us from the devil’s darkness and power, taken us out of his kingdom (past tense), so Satan has no authority over us any more!
If we don’t keep reminding ourselves of who we are and what God has done for us then we’ll easily fall for the devil’s lies when he tells us we don’t deserve anything from God, we’re trapped in disease, poverty or circumstances, that we’re powerless to do anything about it.
Listen, when Satan says that to us, we have to stand and resist him and tell him it’s written ‘I’ve been made worthy by God already, I’m already qualified to receive everything He has for me, I’ve already been delivered from all your power devil, so GO, GET OUT!’
Be encouraged today and let your heart soar as you keep remembering what God says about you. You are on the winning side and you’ve already been translated into the Kingdom of His beloved Son, not going to be. Hallelujah! As we let those truths sink into our hearts I pray we’ll want to speak them out and cause our faith to grow.😊
Thank You Lord for bringing us into Your wonderful kingdom, for delivering us from the power of darkness, for making us worthy to receive all You have for us in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
