Colossians 2:13  

You, being dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He has made alive together with Him, having forgiven you all your trespasses.  

Sometimes we live defeated lives not really knowing why.  It may be that for some of us, our old lives if we are newly saved, may still have some influence on our faith walk.  Or we are letting the devil pound us with thoughts that are against God’s word. Sometimes, it comes down to our knowledge of God’s promises and our time in the scripture to learn about God. Encourage yourself and remind yourself that we were made alive with Him and He forgave all our trespasses.
