Colossians – Salvation
The Book of Colossians – passages specific to God’s Plan for Man’s – SALVATION
Colossians 1
v.21 – Once you were alienated from God and were enemies in your minds because of your evil behavior. v.22 – But now he has reconciled you by Christ’s physical body through death to present you holy in his sight, without blemish and free from accusation – v.23 – if you continue in your faith, established and firm, not moved from the hope held out in the gospel. This is the gospel that you heard and that has been proclaimed to every creature under heaven, and of which I, Paul, have become a servant.
Colossians 2
v.9 – For in Christ all the fullness of the Diety lives in bodily form, v.10 – and you have been given fullness in Christ, who is the head over every power and authority. v.11 – In him you were also circumcised, in the putting off of the sinful nature, not with a circumcision done by the hands of men but with the circumcision done by Christ. v.12 – having been buried with him in baptism and raised with him through your faith in the power of God, who raised him from the dead.
v.13 – When you were dead in your sins in the uncircumcision of your sinful nature, God made you alive with Christ. He forgave us all our sins, v.14 – having canceled the written code, with its regulations, that was against us and that stood opposed to us; he took it away, nailing it to the cross. v.15 – And having disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross.
