IT WAS ALL DONE BY HIM
Colossians 1:13 NKJV says, “He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love.”
This verse is a full declaration of what Jesus has done for every believer. Paul begins by saying “He has delivered us.” The word "He" is important. It means that Jesus alone is the one who delivers you. You do not deliver yourself. You do not save yourself. You do not pay for your own freedom. When Jesus died on the cross and rose again, He completed the work of salvation once and for all. Nothing was left unfinished. Your salvation is complete.
Many believers struggle because they think they must pay something to God to be free. They feel they must cry harder, fight demons longer, or perform spiritual tasks to earn deliverance. But the truth is this: Jesus paid everything. You only need to believe and receive the grace that He has already provided. Salvation is a gift, not a debt.
Paul also wrote that we were delivered “from the power of darkness.” Notice the tense "delivered" which is past tense. The moment you believed in Christ, you were instantly removed from the authority of darkness. The devil lost every legal right to dominate you. If this is true, then why do many believers still suffer? The answer is simple: lack of knowledge and lack of faith. Faith comes by hearing the right message. Hearing about your freedom, not your bondage. Many teachings today talk more about curses, demons, and oppression than about what Jesus has already finished. This kind of teaching brings fear instead of faith.
The verse continues, “and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love.” The Amplified version says “transferred us.” Here again it is "He" It is God who transfers you; you cannot transfer yourself. Like a student moved from one school to another, your environment changes. You now live by new rules, under new leadership, and with a new identity. You cannot wear the old uniform in the new school. In the same way, the spirits of darkness, the old habits, and the old identity are not allowed in the kingdom of God. When God transferred you, he gave you new clothes, a new life, and a new position. You are free and made new.
Your life must be centered on Him. Surrender to His will and He will take care of you. Focus on knowing Him, understanding His finished work, and feeding on the good news of your salvation. Avoid negativity and wrong teachings. Spend time in prayer, studying this message of salvation, and fellowship with God.
Prayer: Lord Jesus, help me surrender completely and walk fully in Your finished work. Amen.
