BENEFITS FOR BEING IN CHRIST, PART 10



CALVARY MELBOURNE AUSTRALIA
YOUR ONLINE CHURCH

Hear the word of God and grow in the understanding
and knowledge of Jesus Christ, as your Lord and Saviour.

PASTOR ANDREW RUSSELL

GOD THE FATHER, THE SON, AND THE HOLY SPIRIT

SERMON NOTES
Pastor Andrew Russell preaches on Colossians 2:11-15. When we come to Christ, we are identified in Him, circumcised, and baptized spiritually, so our sinful nature becomes less and He becomes more. This is not about a physical procedure or ritual; rather a spiritual, God-centered and God-led endeavor. We are spiritually circumcised in Christ. This means our sinful nature is cut off and removed in God’s eyes and we are set free. God has forgiven our trespasses and sins, removed our damming evidence that was against us and then cancelled our debt, and we are now released from our legal demands of the Law by our reconciliation in Him. Thus, we must continue our growth in Him as He nails our sins to the cross, and annuls our guilt bearing our shame Himself. Because of Jesus triumphant over sin, He bears the culpability of our sin; He will disarm our evils and the evils against us, showing their true shame, even as He will do in the world. We now have victory by the cross of Christ!
