CHRIST IN YOU, THE HOPE OF GLORY

Text: Colossians 2
29 April 2018

GLORIOUS SALVATION IN CHRIST

We often take our salvation in Christ too much for granted! Thus, we miss out the fullness of God’s plan of salvation that He has wrought in Christ Jesus the Lord!

THE FULNESS OF GOD’S PLAN OF SALVATION

Let us consider God’s plan of salvation in Christ!

  1. Salvation from the power of Satan and sin     Colossians 1:13-14, 21-22

a) Delivered us from the power of darkness

b) Full forgiveness of sins

i)  Once alienated and enemies

ii) Wicked works

c) Full redemption through the blood of Christ

d) Fully reconciled to God

  1. Salvation’s benefits in Christ     Colossians 1:10-12

a) Qualified us to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints

b) Strengthened with all might according to His glorious power

c) Fruitful in every good work

d) Holy, blameless and above reproach in God’s sight

  1. Our Life hidden in Christ Jesus     Colossians 3:3

a) Paul’s life is a good example

b) He thought of himself as an example of how God would bring about salvation (1 Timothy 1:16)

c) God’s plan for Paul was truly astonishing 

AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT GOD CAN DO        

Paul was a clear example of what God can do in His plan of salvation!

  1. From being a persecutor to a preacher of the gospel of Christ
  1. From being a sinner to a saint walking worthy of salvation
  1. From being a negative person to one with a powerfully proactive personality

WALK WORTHY OF OUR CALLING

Let us seek to walk worthy of the calling of God to be His children. Let us with all diligence learn to cultivate our faith in the Lord Jesus Christ! May we find out for ourselves that we are truly complete in Christ!
