"The Creature Parted!!!"

Let me tell you what I woke to this morning, loud and clear: "Unconfessed sin must be judged!" Yes, that was what I heard; and it was not an infomercial; it was God making a statement of fact! As a matter of fact, there was even an illustration of what this meant; thus the reason for title of today's blog. The illustration was quite simple, and was easy to understand: either we separate from our sins, or we are separated from the Bride of Christ! There is now, and always has been only one way to separate from our sins: confess them!!! My most favorite verse: "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." (1 John 1:9) If we do not confess our sins, then we are not fit for the Kingdom of God: Period!!! Continuing on in the Book of Colossians, I noticed that there was a caption above verse 1:15 which simply says, Christ. Starting this subject of "The Creature", I began with the verses 1:15-18, which was the description of Jesus Christ; therefore, it is only fitting to go on in the description of Him, by also showing what His body is made of: "For it pleased the Father that in Him should all the fulness dwell; and having made peace through the blood of His cross, by Him to reconcile all things unto Himself; by Him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or in heaven. And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath He reconciled in the body of His flesh through death, to present you holy and unblamable and unreprovable in His sight: if ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the Gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister." (Colossians 1:19-23)
