Day 7

Every Christian has been given so much through our Lord Jesus Christ. God gave Paul the opportunity to unpack some of the incredible gifts we have through Christ and what we must do because of what Christ has done for us. We read in Colossians 2:6–7, “Therefore as you have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him, 7 having been firmly r...

Because we are Christians, we must daily walk with a guarded heart and mind. Our enemy, the devil and all of the spiritual forces of wickedness (Ephesians 6:12), would love to see us stumble and fall in our walk with our Lord (1 Peter 5:8). God therefore had Paul write this in Colossians 2:8, “See to it that no one takes you captive through p...

God reminds us throughout His Word that Jesus is God in the flesh and that through Christ we have all we need to live this life for Him and His glory.

When Christ became our Lord and Savior, we were given a brand-new life through Him. We were changed by Christ, so we are to live this life according to the change Christ has made in us. Since our “old man” (our “old self”) was crucified, it was also buried, just as Christ’s body was buried for three days after His crucifixion. God had Paul wr...

One of the most precious gifts we receive when we surrender to Christ as our Lord and Savior is the complete forgiveness of all of our sins. Most Christians never grasp this truth and therefore live in the guilt and shame of their past. But God had Paul write this in Colossians 2:13–14, “When you were dead in your transgressions and the uncir...

God the Father worked miraculously on our behalf through our Lord Jesus Christ so that we could be in a right relationship with Him.
