Col 1:13 Who hath delivered us. The language implies that we were captive. We were under the power of darkness. Compare Lu 22:53. Satan is the power of darkness. Those in sin are held under his power. Hath translated [us] into the kingdom of his dear Son. God, through the gospel, had rescued them, and has translated them into Christ's kingdom. This was effected when they were converted. Some teach that Christ's kingdom is yet future, but this passage shows that it already had an existence. The church was its visible form. It was inaugurated on Pentecost.

Mike's comment on 2011-10-29 15:11:51:
The scripture says that we are delivered from the power of darkness, not darkness itself. As one is able to overcome the power of gravity,yet are we not free from gravity itself. I believe this verse refers to the reign of sin and death (romans 5:21) and the release from the power of sin (romans 6:14).
