Alive, Forgiven, and Triumphent

When you were dead in your sins and in the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made you alive with Christ. He forgave us all our sins,  having canceled the charge of our legal indebtedness, which stood against us and condemned us; he has taken it away, nailing it to the cross. And having disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross. (Col 2:13-15)

We must live out of our new nature as those who are alive with Christ.  Our sinful past is not to cast shadows on our present nor our future because we have been totally forgiven  The list that was against us has been erased, removed, nailed to the cross, our debt cancelled. Demonic principalities, powers, and authorities that had to us because of our sins, no longer have those rights - they have been stripped bare and are without authority or power against us.  We have entered into the triumph of the cross over them.  Yea God!
