Life Translation • Colossians 3:1

An old English word was used for the work of salvation that God has done in our hearts in Colossians 3:1 – it says that God has translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son. That word deserves our attention. Job yearned all his life for the day that ‘his change would come.’ David longs in Psalm 17:15 for the day that he would ‘awake’ in the likeness of God. Like a word that is translated, carrying with it the same significance, so God has translated us into the glorious state of being transformed into the likeness of Christ!
