Scripture of the Day - June 2, 2012

Colossians 1:12 Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light:
13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: {the Son of his love}
14 In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:

Folks, we are DELIVERED FROM THE POWER OF DARKNESS, and TRANSLATED INTO THE KINGDOM OF GOD, THE KINGDOM OF JESUS CHRIST!
Do we understand the magnitude of that? I think not. We in North America are spoiled beyond recognition. We take our salvation for granted, even going as far as brushing aside much of scripture arrogantly saying it's not for today. And those of us who claim to adhere to all scripture live in such a way that one has wonder what exactly we adhere to.
We have been bought back from the enemy of our soul through the blood of Jesus, our sins are forgiven, and we now have access to the kingdom of heaven. Folks, we don't want to lose that access through carelessness. Our salvation is too precious to take for granted. We ought to treasure it and guard it ever so carefully.
