Colossians 1:13-14

For one day it was actually warm around here, amazing enough. Well warm to the point of enjoying the outside for a little while but that is short lived as I’m sure the cold will be back soon enough. I hope you are staying warm and dry yourself. I can’t wait for spring.

For He rescued us from the domain of darkness, and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins. 

Colossians 1:13-14

We live in a world of war, not just a physical one but a spiritual war for our souls. There is the enemy camp who is sent out to destroy the lives of all people. This is because the enemy hates mankind and will stop at nothing to wreck lives and take down as many people into the darkness as possible. After thousands of years of studying man, the enemy is pretty clever and deceptive about how to trick souls. The kingdom of darkness is the place all people live that have not seen the light of God and been redeemed into another kingdom. 

On the other side is the Kingdom of Heaven, of light, and of truth. This is not a kingdom opposite of the darkness, but one set complete on its own with no comparison or contrast. This is where our Lord Jesus reigns as King and he has redeemed mankind through his cross. We have been rescued from the darkness and brought into the light by the Son of God. We know this truth, but how well do we know it? We must take careful consideration of all things in this world as there is much deception. Test all things to be sure they are coming from the Kingdom of the Son.
