2Corinthians 5:14 “For Christ’s love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died. 15 And He died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for Him who died for them and was raised again. …..17Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, He is a new creation; the old has gone the new has come!”
Our sinful nature has been slain! Our right standing with God is our new identity!! Why then do we keep pleasing what’s dead? To stop pleasing our old selves and walk in our newness of life we have to keep turning from the old embracing the new!! We live in our new identity and treat our old selves as dead!! When I was first born again, I had just quit drinking alcohol. I was so excited about my new life!!! My children would remind me, “Yeah Mom sure you say you are changed, but remember when you did…..? I would respond, Yes, I did that, but that was the old mom. I’m the new mom! I am no longer her!! Today, live in the newness we have in Jesus Chris!!!! When we’re tempted to walk in the old ways, let’s shake it off and embrace who we are now children of God. Forgiven and restored!!!
We are made white as snow….. why go roll in the mud?
