Are you dead or alive?

Did you know you can be living and be dead? Or you can be living and truly be alive!!! Which are you this day? Check out these verses:

Colossians 2:13-15

13 And you, being dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He has made alive together with Him, having forgiven you all trespasses, 14 having wiped out the handwriting of requirements that was against us, which was contrary to us. And He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross. 15 Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it.

Look at verse 13...dead in trespasses means dead in sin! We are dead even though we are alive because we are sinners. Ouch! But the verse goes on to say we can be alive!!!! How? By Jesus and only Jesus! As you see in verse 14 he took our sins and nailed them to the cross...by Himself being nailed to the cross. (This may be a good time to thank and praise Jesus for that) Look at the great news in verse 15...Jesus took down Satan and his demons and made a spectacle of them!!! That makes me smile!!! Satan is defeated and it won't be long till he is thrown in the pit called hell with his cronies! 

Jesus is the definition of triumph!!!!! 

I am alive, alive, alive in Jesus are you?
