He has rescued us from darkness!

“For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.” (Col. 1:13-14 NIV)

He HAS

Notice that this promise declares that “He HAS rescued us from the dominion of darkness.” It is written in past tense because it is a done deal! It is finished, paid for, and completed! Now, because of this, you no longer are a part of the old covenant system of being separated from God by a wall of sin and darkness! (Matt. 27:51) – You are now a member of “the kingdom of the Son He loves!” You have been redeemed and have been given total “forgiveness of sins.” You can now come boldly to God at any moment to instantly find mercy and grace in the time of need! (Heb. 4:16 NIV). This is a bold promise!
