Life Under Christ!
- Mike Fritscher, pastor

Colossians 2:12-14

Last week we saw that Life Under Christ,

• You Live!
• You Are Forgiven!

Colossians 2:13 When you were dead in your transgressions and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He made you alive together with Him, having forgiven us all our transgressions,

1.  What You Owe And What's Been Spoken Against You Has Been Canceled!

Colossians 3:14 having canceled out the certificate of debt consisting of decrees against us, which was hostile to us; and He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross. NASU

• You Are No Longer Same! 1 Corinthians 6:9

• You Are No Longer Condemned! Zechariah 3:1-11

• You Are No Longer Under the Word of Death!

Proverbs 18:21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit.

James 3:1-12 – The Power of the Tongue

• The Tongue Affect You Personally! Verses 1-8

Matthew 12:33-37 -

James 1:26 If anyone thinks himself to be religious, and yet does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this man's religion is worthless.

• The Tongue Affects Those Around You! Verses 9-12

2.  God Disarmed Your Enemy!

Live Under the Blessing of Victory, Not the Curse of Defeat!

We have a Weaponless Enemy and A Powerful Arsenal!

2 Corinthians 10:3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh, 4 for theweapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses.

Ephesians 6:10-17

2 Kings 6:16 So he answered, " Do not fear, for those who are with us are more than those who are with them."
