You were dead because of your sins and because your sinful nature was not yet cut away. Then God made you alive with Christ, for he forgave all our sins.
~ Colossians 2:13 [NLT]
Do you behave like someone who has been forgiven of their sinful nature? Do you dance with joy, sing out loud, and forgive those who wrong you? These are only a few qualities of a forgiven person. If not, focus on the undeserved grace you’ve been given, then you can experience the joy. God has wiped away our sins, so let’s act like it.
