You are qualified...
"Giving thanks to the Father who has qualified us to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in the light."
Colossians 1:12
I think this is one of the hardest truths to drum through our heads. Especially me. I have felt so disqualified from all my inheritance in Jesus because of my past - my past failure, rebellion, sin, and just plain doing some truly stupid things.
How about you?
Do you feel the same way at times? Yet, God’s word trumps our failures. His anguish on the cross secured our qualification. Our sins are forgiven as this passage goes on to tell us. This is the truth – His truth, and who are we to argue? This is our launching pad – what we couldn’t do, He did.
It is time to start living in this truth and doing what the Holy Spirit is placing in our hearts to accomplish for Jesus’ Kingdom. He has already qualified us for the task at hand.
