When we are Born Again....we are under grace.....we are clothed in the righteousness of Christ, therefore we right before God and he sees our sins no more.
The true children of God, have their sins hidden in Christ....
Clothed in Righteousness (Ephesians 4:25-5:2)
Online commentary.
Jesus is in heaven with the Father. Yet we are told in
Colossians 3:3 that our life is “hidden with Christ in God.” How can our life be hidden with Jesus in heaven, whilst we carry on living here on the earth? Moreover, believers are hidden in Jesus Himself. We are in Him and He is in us (
1 John 4:13). We are united with Him by the Spirit He has given to us. What does all of this mean?
A New Life
Followers of Jesus are given a new life in Christ (
2 Corinthians 5:17). We become united to Jesus in His death and
resurrection. Those desires that we used to have for earthly things are weakened as we set our minds on heavenly things (
Colossians 3:2). The following verse (
Colossians 3:3) says that “you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.” Our old, sinful nature was crucified with Jesus on the cross.
Romans 6:6 says “We know that our old self was crucified with Him so that the body of sin might be rendered powerless, that we should no longer be slaves to sin.” If we belong to Jesus, we have “crucified the flesh with its passions and desires” (
Galatians 5:24). We begin to walk in step with the Holy Spirit at work in us (
Galatians 5:16-18).
As our new life begins by the power of the Spirit working inside of us, we will look at the world around us differently. In turn, others may look at us differently too. Those who do not yet know Jesus may wonder why our life is different. They may see the love and grace of God at work in us and want to know more.
Hallelujah!!! Hallelujah!!! Hallelujah!!!. ANEN!!!!
