He delivered us from the empire of darkness and transported us to the kingdom of the Son of his love, in which we have redemption, the remission of sins. Colossians 1: 13-14.

Empire is a large territory where one orders, dictates orders and everyone is under that power, there are no rights, only what the regent decides. Satan is the emperor of darkness, and when the Bible says that Jesus delivered us from the empire of darkness, it means that Satan has no power over our lives, because He, Jesus Christ, with His excellence, delivered us from the empire of darkness and brought us to his kingdom of love.

Unlike Satan's empire, which enslaves, sometimes in drugs, in prostitution, with incurable diseases and pains, anguishes, depressions, God does not want that for us. There are many people suffering now and God did not make man to suffer. Of course, it gave man resources to develop medicine and remedies to treat the human body, but he only gave it because of the disobedience of man who, when created, would live in a Garden, where it would not be necessary. You and I have had and we are having great opportunities in life. That addiction that the person cannot leave, that evil that hurts you and you cannot get rid of it, God tells you that you no longer need to accept this in your life, to conform, because man's testimony is negative, it is for you to conform, but do not accept, because God brought us out of slavery, from the empire of darkness. You have to conceive of it and faith works in your life. We were under the empire of darkness, we had to follow the emperor's orders. Now, we live in the love kingdom of Jesus Christ. We have salvation, the remission of our sins. We have our debts forgiven. Christ's blood was shed on our behalf in forgiveness. If you and I forgive, peace reigns, if we do not forgive, there is no peace. Church, the solution for the world is there, your name is Jesus Christ. May your day be blessed!
