Delivered from the power of darkness
Transported into the kingdom of His dear Son
Redemption through His blood
The forgiveness of sin
Wow! That’s like an entire soteriology lesson there in four lines. It is a true lesson in the doctrine of salvation. This is quite an amazing truth. How could we, full of sin, be reconciled to the perfect holy God? How can that great gap be spanned?
At our best all of our righteousness works are no better than filthy rags. Paul calls his righteous nothing but dung. Our sin nature is not compatible with a holy God. Man knows that – God put eternity in our hearts – so all though time man has tried to find a way to placate his concept of deity.
The problem is that there is only one way to have the sins we all know we are guilty of forgiven. The good news that it is the free gift of salvation in Jesus Christ.
It is the forgiveness of my sins that lets me have hope.
