What does the Bible say about being delivered and translated into God's kingdom?

In Colossians 1:12-13, Paul emphasizes that God the Father has delivered us from the power of darkness and has transferred us into the kingdom of His dear Son. This act of translation signifies a change of spiritual residence—from the dominion of sin and darkness to the sovereignty of Christ and His Kingdom. It is a reminder that our salvation is entirely an act of God's grace. We were not fit for the kingdom by our own merit, but through Christ’s redemptive work, the Father has qualified us to partake in this glorious inheritance.
