Colossians 2:13

"When you were dead in your sins and in the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made you alive with Christ. He forgave us all our sins."

I had been a Christian for eight years before I read this verse for the first time.

All those years, I lived without the full knowledge of what God had done for me.

I didn't know that he had made me alive with Christ.

And I certainly didn't know that he had forgiven all my sins.

But there it was in black and white

When I read those words, it struck me, "I Bob Christopher am fully alive in Christ and totally forgiven".

Did you know the moment you believed the same happened to you?

God made you alive with Christ and forgave all of your sins.

And that's good news.
