My prayer for you for today is that they enemy will find
no place to accuse you and that you will know that you have been reconciled to
God, in Jesus name.
Colossians
1:19-20
For
God in all His fullness was pleased to live in Christ, and through Him God
reconciled everything to himself. He made peace with everything in heaven and
on earth by means of Christ's blood on the cross.
Reconciled. I love this comparison “reconciled”, God
reconciled everything to himself. In the payroll world we know that to reconcile
is to balance the input with the actual events. We balance figures on our
systems to the values we paid and only when all is reconciled and balanced we
submit to the receiver of revenue. When I look at the word reconciled, to me it
means God took you and balanced you to Him so that you can be and look like
Him. Awesome isn’t it? Jesus came and made all this possible, but you have to
look at the next section from verse 21: This includes you who were once far away from God. You were His
enemies, separated from Him by your evil thoughts and actions. 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.
Now what is so amazing is just this, because you are
reconciled to God you stand in His presence, holy and blameless. So my dear
friend, the poor devil is fighting a losing battle against you. You are already
holy and blameless before God through Jesus Christ who took all the accusations
and sin and destroyed them on the cross. You are free to live completely for
Him and in no way can you be discouraged because you are reconciled/reunited to
God.
But
you must continue to believe this truth and stand firmly in it. Don't drift
away from the assurance you received when you heard the Good News. Stand
firm and be strong and live your life knowing who you are in Jesus, and be holy
as He who dwells in you is holy.
Have and awesome day dear friend of Jesus
Cheers
