Live On The Positive Side

Colossians 2:16, 17
"Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or
in respect of a holy day, or of the new moon, or
of the sabbath days: Which are a shadow of
things to come; but the body is of Christ."

       As believers what we do, emphasizes our close identification with our Savior, and should show that we are in the purpose of God, and be in daily experience, and in union with Him having forever put away the sins of the flesh. Our Master’s victory is potentially ours. He won it, but we may share its fruits. Yet faith must apprehend and affirm these blessings. The land of Canaan is ours by right, but every inch has to be claimed by faith. "Faith is an affirmation and act that bids eternal truth." 
      We must not allow our religious life to become a piece of outward ritual, Col. 2:16,17  or permit the supposed mediation of angels to obscure the supreme majesty of our Lord, Col 2:18,19. We who have died with Christ must not be always regulating ourselves by the don’ts of the Law. Let us enter with more intimate fellowship  with our Lord, and live on the positive side. Ours should be the freedom of a full life, with a clear view of our eternal home Nothing else really avails against the indulgence of the flesh.
Amen!!
