Colossians 1

“For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves ...” (13). Paul wrote that we are citizens of the kingdom of Jesus, now and forever. This means we have access to the “wisdom and knowledge” of the Spirit, and God wants to empower us to keep bearing fruit for Him and to act in ways that honor Him (9-12). We live under the leadership of the Son of God who holds “all things” together and is working to reconcile “all things” to Himself.

Whatever the current circumstances of our lives, through Jesus we are part of the “kingdom of light”, and we are inheritors of God’s wonderful promises (12).
