在歌罗西书中 1:13-14 Paul wrote to the saints at Colosse, 谁把我们从黑暗的权势下拯救出来, and hath translated us into the kingdom of His dear Son: 我们借着他的血在他里面得到救赎, 甚至罪孽的宽恕. 这是什么意思?
What is the meaning of Colossians 1:13?
歌罗西书 1:13 means that the Father delivered you from the power of darkness; the power of the devil and sin and death, through His beloved Son Jesus Christ and by His blood, and translated you into the Kingdom of His dear Son Jesus Christ.
In Christ and through His blood you have redemption even the forgiveness of sin.
You no longer live in the kingdom of darkness but in the Kingdom of God, 耶稣基督为王的地方.
This means that in Christ, you are free and no longer live in darkness in the bondage of sin and death.
Jesus went the way of suffering, took your place on 十字架, and became your substitute. He carried all your diseases, 罪恶, and iniquities upon Himself.
Jesus was made sin and died for you. He entered hell and rose as Victor from the dead with the keys of hell and death. So that you could be made free from the power of darkness and sin and death.
Total redemption of man through His blood
By His blood, you have been delivered and reconciled to God and made holy and righteous. Jesus Christ has restored the union with the Father, so that you can have a relationship with the Father.
By His blood and the power of the Holy Spirit, your spirit is raised from the dead and made alive. You’re no longer a son of the devil (罪人). You are a 神之子 (这适用于男性和女性). You’re born of His Spirit and you belong to Him now.
We can never leave the blood of Jesus Christ out of the message of the gospel. Only the redemptive work and the precious blood of Jesus Christ can save people.
All your sins are forgiven
Before you became born again you lived in a fallen state. You were bound to sin and death, 通过肉体. But Jesus broke all the power of the devil and of sin and death over your life. Jesus released you from the spiritual prison of this world and set you free.
All of your sins (no matter what you have done for evil things) have been forgiven and done away. There is not one sin that is not covered by the blood of Jesus and done away. 所以, no one can accuse you anymore.
But now, that you are a son of God (这适用于男性和女性), and no longer a sinner (a son the devil), there shouldn’t be a place for sin in your life anymore.
As a new son of God, you shall put off the old man and put on the new man. This is called the process of sanctification.
If you don’t do this and you keep living in sin, while you know that what you do is not right and opposes the will of God, you might ask yourself if you are truly born again and belong to Christ.
Because through regeneration and in Christ your flesh, in which the sinful nature dwells, died in Christ (奥阿. 罗马书 6:15:16).
But if you keep living in sin, your flesh has not died. You are not free but are still a servant of sin 根据圣经.
If you persevere in sin, you still obey your previous father the devil and walk in the lust and desires of the flesh. If you only would see, where sin leads you to, I guarantee, that you would stop sinning immediately (哦. 约翰 8:34-36, 1 约翰 3:8-10).
If the Son has made you free, you are free indeed
Jesus gave Himself for you, because He wanted you to be free from the power of the devil and darkness and stay free from the power of sin and death.
在基督里, you have been made righteous and have been given all authority and power in heaven and on earth to stand in the faith and to rule over sin and all the power of the enemy, 任何事都不会伤害你 (哦. 马修 28:19-20, 卢克 10:19, 以弗所书 6:11, 詹姆士 4:7).
Therefore separate yourself from sin unto righteousness and obey the words of Jesus and keep His commandments. 把老人推开 和 穿上新人 and walk after the Spirit in the freedom that God has provided for you, 通过耶稣基督, His Son.
