Holy, Blameless, Without Fault

Yet now he has reconciled you to himself through the death of Christ in his physical body. As a result, he has brought you into his own presence, and you are holy and blameless as you stand before him without a single fault.

Colossians 1:22

Paul’s words here, immediately follow his magnificent prose affirming the Supremacy of Christ, in Colossians 1:15-20. After stating that God reconciled everything to himself, making peace with everything in heaven and on earth by means of Christ’s blood on the cross, Paul tells us the result is that we, who have trusted in Christ, have been brought into the presence of God, holy and blameless without a single fault.

Paul wrote something like this to the church in Rome when he stated, “now there is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus.” (Romans 8:1) Let’s do ourselves a huge favor. Let’s pause for a few minutes and truly allow these truths from scripture to sink deep into our heart. Now, at this moment, because there is no condemnation for us who belong to Jesus, spiritually, again, at this very moment, we are standing before God the Father Almighty, and we are holy and blameless without a single fault.

Is there any person who knows us, or has known us, who finds no fault with us? I cannot think of any such person in my life. And I cannot say they are wrong in their judgement. But ALMIGHTY God, unto whom all hearts are open, all desires known, and from whom no secrets are hidden, declares we are holy and blameless without a single fault.

My Takeaway: My heart belongs to ALMIGHTY God.

(Selah is a word that appears in the Book of Psalms that I often use as the Complimentary Closing in my correspondence. Its meaning, as I use the word, is to pause and think about these things.)
