THE KINGDOM OF LIGHT
Colossians 1:12-14
"... giving thanks to the Father who has qualified us to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in the light. He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love, in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins."
There are only two kingdoms – the kingdom of Christ (which is light), and the kingdom of Satan (which is darkness). This is indeed a dark world without the light of Christ's kingdom. There are no illegal aliens in His kingdom. The only path to citizenship is through His blood that cleanses from sin. There are no "dual" citizenships. It is one or the other – either light or darkness. I am so thankful that He has "conveyed" me into His kingdom. I may still have some traces of the old kingdom in my life (like a language accent), but there is no allegiance to the kingdom of darkness. My sins – the fruit of darkness – are forgiven, and my allegiance is to Jesus. Hallelujah!
TODAY'S THOUGHT: The only path to citizenship in the kingdom of light is through the cleansing blood of Jesus.
Have a "light" day. Love you.
