If you have not seen the comment my Aunt left on Part 1 of this post, you ought to go give it a read. I found it inspiring!
So here are the descriptions I found in Colossians that address what happens to the believer through and at Easter:
(insights taken from Colossians 1:13-14; 19-22; 27; 2:13-15)
Our Condition Before:
Domain of darkness
Alienate
Hostile in mind
Doing evil deeds
Dead in trespasses
Uncircumcision of flesh
Record stood against me
Legal demands
What God did at Easter Through Jesus Christ:
Delivered us
Transferred us
Forgiven us
Reconciled us
Made peace by the blood of the cross
Presented us
Made known
In us
Canceled our debt
Set it aside
Nailed it to the cross
Disarmed the ruler & authorities
Put them to shame
Triumphed over them
Our Condition After:
Kingdom of his beloved Son
Redemption
Forgiveness of sin
Reconciled
Holy
Blameless
Above reproach
Hope of glory
Alive
Trespasses forgiven
Canceling record of debt
AMEN!! I JUST WANT TO CELEBRATE!
