Colossians 1:24-2:5
24 April 2022
Have you ever started a job, gotten side-tracked and found yourself finishing a completely different job hours later? It happens to all of us. But when it happens to the church, it’s tragic. This week we see together from Colossians 1:24-2:5 that the main task Jesus has given his church is for us to proclaim Jesus Christ to all in order to present everyone mature in Him. With God working in us, we stay focussed and work hard towards this goal.
Passage: Colossians 1:24-2:5

Imputation – Jesus’ Righteousness is Mine

Starting over with a clean slate is a wonderful thing. But the problem with a clean slate is that you can mess it up again pretty quick! When it comes to our relationship with God we need something better than a clean slate… This week we look at our next Big Word in God’s Big Plan: Imputation – Jesus’ Righteousness is Mine. We are going to see from Philippians 3:1-11 that God counts us as righteous in Jesus through faith, not through anything we do.

Justification – Just like we never sinned

Justification can feel like a negative word. Afterall, people are always trying to justify themselves. But for Christians, justification is a beautiful word. Justification is what God has done for us through his Son Jesus. This week we see from Romans 4 that it is not we who justifies ourselves, but God who justifies us through faith. Knowing that we are justified by faith we are free to admit our mistakes, trusting in God who justifies us by faith in Christ.

Propitiation – God’s Anger Turned Away

It’s an awful feeling when someone is angry with you. It’s even worse when you deserve it. But what can we do if God is angry with us and we deserve it? This week we look at our next Big Word in God’s Big Plan: Propitiation – God’s Anger Turned Away. We are going to see from Romans 3:21-26 that God’s anger towards us in our sin is completely turned away by Jesus’ death so that we can enjoy God’s love.
