Alive With Christ

"When you were dead in your sins and in the un-circumcision of your sinful nature, God made you alive with Christ.  He forgave us our sins, having cancelled the written code , with its regulations, that was against us and that stood opposed to us; he took it away, nailing it to the cross.  And having disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross."  Colossians 2:13-15
