THERE IS NO CASE AGAINST YOU

“Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us,
and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross.” Colossians 2: 14 (KJV)
Welcome to the last day of 2024. Congratulations, you made it. As we prepare for 2025, I
must remind you there is no case against you. Understand what Christ did on the cross and
His victory on your behalf. This is vital so you do not miss out on the significance of His
death and resurrection. Apostle Paul, writing to the church in Colossae, figuratively describes
what Christ’s death accomplished for the believer.

The NIV translation says: “Having cancelled the charge of our legal indebtedness, which
stood against us and condemned us; he has taken it away, nailing it to the cross.” (Colossians
2:14). What does that mean? The word “cancelled”, translated from the original Greek
language, also means to wipe out or wash. Metaphorically, this connotes a removal or
obliteration of whatever used to be. “Our legal indebtedness” agrees with scripture, as stated
in Romans 3:23, “For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God”. Before receiving
redemption through Christ, we were all legal slaves and captives of sin. We had the
overbearing weight of sin and eternal condemnation hanging over our heads, which
empowered the devil to table accusations against us before the Father.

But Christ, through His death, has destroyed everything that gave the enemy a legal hold over
your life. Child of God, because of the price that Christ paid on the cross of Calvary, the
enemy can no longer bring any accusation against you before God. He has no case against
you. And so, you have been discharged, acquitted, the case is closed, and there is no appeal!
That tells you that you have total victory! So, you are fighting from the point of complete
victory. In other words, it is not that you will be victorious; you are already victorious. Arise
with this understanding and enforce your victory in every area of your life as you match
victoriously into 2025.
