Sonship and Access
Paul makes visible what was objectively accomplished at the cross.
Scripture: Colossians 1:13-14
He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.
Thought: Transferred. Not gradually pushed over, not slowly promoted, but transferred, a complete relocation. Original: חֵרוּת
Cross-references: Hebrews 10:17, John 19:30.
