How have you or how can you apply last week's verses to your life?
Colossians 15-23 "The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16 For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him. 17 He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. 18 And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy. 19 For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him, 20 and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross.
21 Once you were alienated from God and were enemies in your minds because of[g] your evil behavior. 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— 23 if you continue in your faith, established and firm, and do not move 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."
I feel like since becoming a Christian, I am more aware of my sin. And it makes me realize just how much I need Jesus! I am so thankful for His plan of salvation! There is no way I deserve a spot in Heaven. I could not make my sins clean on my own. Only through the blood of Christ am I forgiven.
I'm also aware that God created all things. It's so easy to want and have so much "stuff". We probably all have way to much and could easily give it away to someone who needs it more, but we think we need it or get greedy with it. When really it's all God's stuff anyway! We are just blessed to use it.
