Alive In Christ Part 1

Colossians 2:13 (NASB95):
13 When you were dead in your transgressions and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He made you alive together with Him, having forgiven us all our transgressions,

“I feel so alive.” I am sure you’ve heard someone say that phase. Maybe you’ve said it before. We usually use it when we are experiencing something we enjoy… a relationship, vacation, career, etc. The phase has more to do with feelings than anything else. We don’t mean that we were actually dead and a relationship or vacation made us alive. It is just a figure of speech.

I think that’s why it’s so easy to be blasé when the Bible says that we are made alive in Christ; we look at it as just a figure of speech, but it is so much more.

Tomorrow we will look at what scripture says about being alive in Christ. I challenge you to take time to meditate on Colossians 2:13 and journal about what it means to be alive in Christ.
