COLOSSIANS CHAPTER 1

Colossians chapter 1- God created Adam and Eve. He created them in His own image and loved them so much. He gave them everything they needed including eternal life. But they fell out of His grace because the devil tempted them to eat the fruit of the forbidden tree. God then drove them away from His garden and took away their immortality. Hence humans had to toil, suffer and finally die in this world. Since then the whole human generations got more and more alienated from God by their wickedness and repeated sins. But God’s love and mercy is everlasting and He wanted to reconcile with people . But that was not possible because He is holy and we are unholy; loaded with past, present and future sins. We cannot survive in His presence with our impurities. So He wanted us to be made completely perfect without sins before we stand in His presence. He needed somebody who can completely wash away our sins and make us perfect. God’s only choice was His son Jesus Christ, who created the heaven, earth and all the visible and invisible things .God thus gave His only beloved son Jesus to this world to deliver us from the darkness of sin and to enter into His glorious Kingdom. God made peace with humans through the blood of Jesus which was shed on the cross; which completely washed away the sins of the whole humanity, in the past, present and the future. Through His death Jesus presents us to His beloved Father as holy, unblameable and unreproveable beings. But from our part we have to believe that He died for us. We should repent for our sins and accept Jesus as our Saviour. We should confess that He is the Lord. Once we do this, He will enter into our hearts and we will become a new being. He will sanctify us as we grow up in faith and will purify us like pure gold to be presented in front of the Holy God. This act of reconciliation will result in us getting back the original position as before when Adam and Eve enjoyed in God’s presence. And this will be for all eternity.
