He canceled the record of the charges against us and took it away by nailing it to the cross. ---Colossians 2:14 We can enjoy our new loves in Christ because we have joined him in his death and resurrection. Our evil desires, our bondage to sin, and our love of sin died with him. Now, joining him in his resurrection life, we may have unbroken fellowship with God and freedom from sin. Our debt for sin has been paid in full; our sins are swept away and forgotten by God; and we can be clean and new. For more on the difference between our new life in Christ and our old sinful nature, read Ephesians 4:23-24 and Colossians 3:3-15. --- Life Application Study Bible notes
