Colossians 1:13-14

For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins. 

For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness 
Acts 26:17-18  "I (Jesus) will rescue you (Paul) from your own people and from the Gentiles. I am sending you to them to open their eyes and turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, so that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a place among those who are sanctified by faith in me."

and brought us into the kingdom 
2 Peter 1:10-11  Therefore, my brothers and sisters, make every effort to confirm your calling and election. For if you do these things, you will never stumble, and you will receive a rich welcome into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. 
Psalm 145:13  Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and your dominion endures through all generations.
2 Timothy 4:18  The Lord will rescue me from every evil attack and will bring me safely to his heavenly kingdom. To him be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

of the Son he loves 
Matthew 3:17  And a voice from heaven said, "This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased."
2 Peter 1:16-18  For we did not follow cleverly devised stories when we told you about the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ in power, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty. He received honor and glory from God the Father when the voice came to him from the Majestic Glory, saying, "This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased." (Matthew 17:5; Mark 9:7; Luke 9:35;). We ourselves heard this voice that came from heaven when we were with him on the sacred mountain.

in whom we have redemption 
Romans 3:24  ... and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.

the forgiveness of sins 
Ephesians 7-8a  In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God's grace that he lavished on us.
