MSITN VITAL DOCTRINES – CHRISTOLOGY

“And you, being dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He has made alive together with Him, having forgiven you all trespasses”

Colossians 2:13

BEFORE FAITH IN THE LORD JESUS CHRIST

1. Paul was very candid in his statement about the spiritual state of man.

a. We are “dead in trespasses”.
b. The meaning of the word “trespass”.
i. The word “trespass” means “transgressions against God’s laws”.
ii. In other words, we have all sinned against God.
c. What are the consequences of sin?
i. We are guilty as trespassers.
ii. We are liable to be judged by God.
iii. Sin causes us to be spiritually dead.
d. The uncircumcision of the flesh.
i. This is a reference to Gentiles in the church in Colosse.
ii. But it is more than just an ethnic reference.
iii. It is a reference to the state of uncleanness because sin has not even been cut off from their life.

2. God has made us alive in the Lord Jesus Christ.

a. The first thing God does is to deal with our sins.
b. Our sins have grave consequences:
i. We stand guilty before God.
ii. We will suffer whatever penalty God may mete out.
c. God shows grace and mercy when we believe in the Lord Jesus.
i. He forgives us of all our sins and trespasses.
ii. We need not fear being judged and condemned by God.
iii. We stand before God freely forgiven!
iv. This is a great and wonderful truth to rejoice in!
d. We are made alive in the Lord Jesus Christ.
e. We are no longer dead to the Lord.
f. We can respond to God:
i. In faith.
ii. In love.
iii. In life.
iv. In service.

经文:歌罗西书 2

“你们从前在过犯和未受割礼的肉体中死了,神赦免了你们一切过犯,便叫你们与基督一同活过来”

《歌罗西书 2:13》

在主耶稣基督里有信心之前

1. 保罗形容人属灵状态很坦率

a. 我们“在过犯中死了”

b. “过犯”的意思

i. “过犯”的意思是“违背上帝的律法”

ii. 换句话说z,我们所有人都犯了罪,得罪了上帝

c. 罪的后果是什么呢?

i. 我们成为罪犯

ii. 我们将受上帝审判

iii. 我们遭受属灵的死亡

d. 未受割礼的肉体

i. 这指的是歌罗西教会的外邦人

ii. 但这不仅是关系到他们的种族

iii. 这也指向他们不洁的状态,因为罪还未从他们生命中切除掉

2. 上帝叫我们与基督一同活过来

a. 上帝做的第一件事就是处置我们的罪

b. 我们的罪有很严重的后果

i. 我们在上帝面前是有罪的

ii. 我们将承受上帝惩罚
