"Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it" Colossians 2:13-15 NKJV
Have you fully realised that Jesus overcame sin? Whatever you may have done in the past, if you have confessed it to Jesus, He has forgiven you and taken it away. The devil had a charge card against you, but Jesus washed it away - He wiped the board clean and, nailed your sin to the cross. Where is it now? 'As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us' Psalm 103:12. He has placed them where they can never return - an infinite distance away.
Notice the words, 'And He has taken it out of the way' v14. If you were to mention a particular sin to Jesus, He wouldn't know what you mean because, He paid the price for this and nailed it to the cross. He refuses to remember it and so should you. Otherwise, you are agreeing with the accuser by thinking that your transgressions are there forever - you're condemned. NO YOU ARE NOT! You are forgiven. When you do sin, you come under conviction. This is the time to repent and ask forgiveness. Be careful here though, because if you think you are still under conviction, you are not, you are feeling condemned and this is what the devil does. Don't be fooled; repent and be free from it.
Watch this: 'Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it' v15. He actually bought shame and ridicule upon the rulers of darkness by the victory He had at Calvary. You back a winner with Jesus, don't give in to the loser. Jesus is the victor and, because of this, you become a victor too. 'Yes but.. ' 'Yes but nothing, you are a winner'.
The next time you fall into sin - and you will do - remember to repent as soon as you can, receive His forgiveness and refuse to remember it again. If condemning thoughts attack you, take them captive and make them obedient to Christ 2 Corinthians 10:-4-6.
Remember, Jesus made a public spectacle of the rulers of darkness. You are a sin-free Person of God. Is there an Amen here?
