“giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:”
Colossians 1:12-13 KJV
Paul’s awesome revelation of our gratitude to the Father Who qualified us to participate in the complete portion of the inheritance of the saints in light - this light of the Gospel which reveals what God accomplished to transform the sinner into a saint. He rescued us from the dominion of darkness (the sense-ruled world, dominated by the law of performance) and relocated us into the Kingdom where the love of His Son rules. Darkness is not a force, it is the absence of light. A darkened understanding veiled the truth of our redeemed design from us. What empowered darkness was the lie that we believed about ourselves! I was confused about who I am until the day that I heard and understood the grace of God in truth, as in a mirror. Hallelujah!
