Made Alive.

Colossians 2v10-15
and you have been filled in him, who is the head of all rule and authority. In him also you were circumcised with a circumcision made without hands, by putting off the body of the flesh, by the circumcision of Christ, having been buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through faith in the powerful working of God, who raised him from the dead. And you, who were dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses, by canceling the record of debt that stood against us with its legal demands. This he set aside, nailing it to the cross. He disarmed the rulers and authorities and put them to open shame, by triumphing over them in him.

Let us all remember that we are dead without the sacrifice of Christ. Sometimes it is easy to take for granted the price paid for us and the sentence of hell we are given without Christ. But now we are made alive! Risen as he was risen in the power of God. We have new life, we have new hope every single day of this life and let’s make it count, not for our glory but His for what He so graciously gave us; the right to call Him father.
