CHEATING DEATH
Being fully gone
To read the Bible in one year, today Read: 1 Samuel 28,29.
To Know:
³And you, who were dead in trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh,
God made alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses,
having canceled the bond which stood against us with its legal demands; this
he set aside, nailing it to the cross. He disarmed the principalities and
powers and made a public example of them, triumphing over them in him.²
(Col. 2:13-15)
My first computer lacked an automatic save function. In order to protect the
work in progress it was necessary to operate the save command every few
minutes. The lurking danger was the threat of an unexpected power outage. In
1985, I was writing my doctoral thesis on a crisp and clear summer afternoon
when the power failed without warning. Nearly ten pages of extremely
complicated text disappeared in an instant. ³Donıt panic yet,² one of the
computer experts in the church advised me. He went to work and found that my
work had been preserved deep in the bowels of the computer. It was not
actually gone.
Our sins are gone. God erased our sins eternally on the day Christ died.
Sins no longer exist for those who have their faith in Jesus Christ. This is
the precise freedom for which the world longs but is prevented from
receiving, because of pride.
To Answer:
Do we understand that on the cross God cut us off from the tyranny of our
flesh?
