A Faith that Continues
Main Point: Jesus presents us holy and blameless, as we continue in our faith, not moved from the hope of the Gospel. Presents = bring before, recommend 1. We were once alienated from God because of our sinful thinking (noia=mind) and behavior, and were His enemies. (verse 21) Alienated = Not together, estranged, shut out Enemies = adversaries = (God was against us) Exodus 32:30-35 2. He reconciled us, not only to be forgiven, but to become righteous – holy, like Him! reconciled = to fully bring back to former state of harmony Romans 5:9-11 3. We must continue in our faith, unmoved from the gospel of Jesus Christ! Hebrews 2:1
Scripture References: Colossians 1:21-23, Exodus 32:30-35, Romans 5:9-11, Hebrews 2:1
