"And you, who once were alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now He has reconciled in the body of His flesh through death, to present you holy, and blameless, and above reproach in His sight." (Colossians 1:21-22)

Christ has purchased the end of alienation and enmity, the privilege of reconciliation, and the settled fact of once-for-all justification. By His grace we engage in the grateful duty of sanctified living, and we look forward to the wondrous prospect of final perfection when Christ will present us "faultless before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy" (Jude 24-25).
