Promises of God from Colossians

God's Word is full of promises of what Christ has DONE. Here are some selected promises of God from Colossians compiled by Kenneth Boa:

The Father has qualified us to share in the inheritance of the saints in the kingdom of light (1:12)
God has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of his beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins (1:13).
We have been reconciled to God through Christ’s death so that we can be presented as holy in his sight, without blemish and free from accusation (1:22).
The riches of God’s mystery are Christ in us, the hope of glory (1:27).
In Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form, and we have been given fullness in Christ, who is the head over every power and authority (2:10).
When we were dead in our sins, God made us alive with Christ and forgave us all our sins (2:13).
We have been raised with Christ; we died, and our life is now hidden with Christ in God.  When Christ, who is our life, appears, then we also will appear with him in glory (3:1-4).
As God’s chosen people, we are holy and dearly loved (3:12).
