Exposition
Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son – satan rules over the affairs of those who have not accepted that Jesus Christ died for their sins and His Lordship over them. The power of satan over such people keeps them in the ignorance of what Jesus Christ did for the whole world on the cross of Calvary.
By the special grace of God, deliverance happens when the only One who can deliver any held by satan, shines His light into the inner recesses of the heart of the man and the scales which have shielded the man bound, drop off and satan has no choice but to disappear. Light always overcomes darkness.
The translation is a transfer from one kingdom to another, the kingdom of Jesus Christ here on earth. The power of sin is broken and there is a submission to the power of Jesus Christ. The laws in the Kingdom of Jesus Christ are different and all who are transferred enjoy new benefits. The past was characterized by sin, failure, defeat, misery and ignorance and the new is a lifetime of holiness, joy, peace and knowledge among many other benefits.
The translation of a sinner from darkness to light always sparks rejoicing in heaven because heaven gains a saint. You might want to submit to the call of Jesus Christ today as you want to partake of what Christ did, take the giant step of faith, by confessing with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.
Prayer
Thank you, Father because You have delivered me from the power of darkness, and sin has no power over me. I am no longer a slave of satan. I am now a child of God. I have been moved into the kingdom of light. Father let your light surround me at all times. Help me so I never succumb to temptation from satan in Jesus name. Amen
