Colossians 1:21 – Why are we alienated from God? Why are we his enemies? And what can be done about it?
Thanks for taking the time out to proclaim God’s word on your long journey to Victoria. Praying for safe journeying mercies and a fruitful weekend.
Testimony song [c.f. Col. 1:12-14; 21-23]
Thanks is given to the Father
who, delivering us from night,
makes us qualified partakers,
heirs with all the saints in light.
He expels the power of darkness
from his sight in heaven above
and conveys us to the kingdom
of his Heir, Son of his love.
In the Son we have redemption
from the penalty of sin.
We, who once were alienated,
now are brought entirely in
through his blood; new-covenanted;
cleansed from sin, to him confessed.
In his body he presents our
resurrected holiness.
In God’s love, grounded and steadfast,
anchored, we shall not be moved.
In the hearing of the gospel
all God’s faithfulness is proved.
In the Faith let us continue —
we believe what Jesus said —
in the hope of his returning;
with our sins on Jesus laid.

A tranny prefers the plural form of address .
In the Bible , Demons refer to themselves as they/them/we/us (twice in Mark , twice in Luke and once in Matthew )
