13 When you were dead in your transgressions and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He made you alive together with Him, having forgiven us all our transgressions,
14 having canceled out the certificate of debt consisting of decrees against us, which was hostile to us; and He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross.
this speaks of man’s former state. before salvation.
You were dead in your transgressions. what are transgressions?
it means to go beside, to sin, or to tresspass
The behavior bring forth dead.
13 Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am being tempted by God”; for God cannot be tempted by evil, and He Himself does not tempt anyone.
14 But each one is tempted when he is carried away and enticed by his own lust.
15 Then when lust has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and when sin is accomplished, it brings forth death.
transgressionn and uncircumcision.
why uncircumcision?
Cirumcision points to man’s covant with God .
in this man’s flesh is removed.
so the illistation paul is making here is man life led by his flesh.
this life is death.
and while we were in this state Christ made us alive and forgave our transgressions
how?
14 having canceled out the certificate of debt consisting of decrees against us, which was hostile to us; and He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross.
His death on the cross
15 When He had disarmed the rulers and authorities, He made a public display of them, having triumphed over them through Him.

15 And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
spoiled or disarmed , means literally to strip off clothes of another.
meaning satan and his forces have been stripped of their power to comdemn and kill
This whole act Jesus death on the cross and His resurrection from the death gives the believer victory.
Our text says, He made a public display of them, having triumphed over them through Him.
8 the one who practices sin is of the devil; for the devil has sinned from the beginning. The Son of God appeared for this purpose, to destroy the works of the devil.
The very purpose for His coming to not just defeat the devil but to totally destroy His works.
We don’t have to be a defeat of no little devil. God has given us victory over Him and all His works
14 Therefore, since the children share in flesh and blood, He Himself likewise also partook of the same, that through death He might render powerless him who had the power of death, that is, the devil,
Christ put the devil to public shame
16 Therefore no one is to act as your judge in regard to food or drink or in respect to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath day—
Jesus took away the power to condemn by the law , because he himself fulfilled the law
5 things not to jydge others for
what they eat
what they drink
31 Whether, then, you eat or drink or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.
3. What holidays they keep
4. what new moon festivals
5. what sabbaths to observe
why?
17 things which are a mere shadow of what is to come; but the substance belongs to Christ.
18 Let no one keep defrauding you of your prize by delighting in self-abasement and the worship of the angels, taking his stand on visions he has seen, inflated without cause by his fleshly mind,
again dont be deceived. let no one trick you
self-abasement or self humiliation
this all points to the
1 You foolish Galatians, who has bewitched you, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was publicly portrayed as crucified?
2 This is the only thing I want to find out from you: did you receive the Spirit by the works of the Law, or by hearing with faith?
3 Are you so foolish? Having begun by the Spirit, are you now being perfected by the flesh?
19 and not holding fast to the head, from whom the entire body, being supplied and held together by the joints and ligaments, grows with a growth which is from God.
who is the head? CHrist is the head of the church
22 And He put all things in subjection under His feet, and gave Him as head over all things to the church,
20 If you have died with Christ to the elementary principles of the world, why, as if you were living in the world, do you submit yourself to decrees, such as,
21 “Do not handle, do not taste, do not touch!”
22 (which all refer to things destined to perish with use)—in accordance with the commandments and teachings of men?
1 But the Spirit explicitly says that in later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons,
9 ‘But in vain do they worship Me, Teaching as doctrines the precepts of men.’ ”
23 These are matters which have, to be sure, the appearance of wisdom in self-made religion and self-abasement and severe treatment of the body, but are of no value against fleshly indulgence.
