THE TRANSLATED ONES

Colossians 1:13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:
Without spiritual understanding, you can mix up revelations of scripture. Understanding is what brings stability in the walk of the believer in Christ. In the New Testament, the new creation is not the “delivered one” but the “translated one”. There is a huge difference between who was delivered and who has been translated.
It is in this same vein we make the assertion that the new creation is not “the redeemed”. You must understand that the new creation is a new specie – a new type of being, never existed before – the devil never knew him. Hence how was he redeemed or delivered? Delivered from what exactly?
2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
The new creation was never in the hand of the devil. The man that was redeemed and delivered died with Christ on the cross – no longer in existence. When Jesus rose from the dead, a new man with a new life emerged in a joint resurrection with Christ. Hallelujah!
This new man is the “translated one” we read in the opening scripture. And this new man is superior to sin, death, hell and the devil. In truth and reality, the believer does not need deliverance from the devil. He is superior to the devil. What you need to do is to take charge as you receive revelation from God’s word about who you are in Christ Jesus. Praise God forever more!
