2 Corinthians 5:17
“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things
are passed away; behold, all things are become new.”
O what a glorious thought
to know we have been saved by the blood of Jesus Christ!!! O how wonderful it
is to know we have been born again. Born out of the death and sin we once were
consumed by.
As new creatures in
our Lord our old passed of living in sin is gone. We are new creatures.
Children of God. Our passions have changed. Our desires are different. Instead
of chasing the lust of the world we now have a desire to follow our Lord and
Savior. We thirst after His Word. We desire to follow His commandments.
But, lest we forget,
we are still living in a body ravaged by sin and that body of flesh and bone
tries to draw us back into the sins we once called home. This old sinful body
craves the lust of the eyes and of the flesh and of this world. At times we
fall to the temptations that come before us. It is a never ending struggle with
our great adversary the devil. He will tempt us with everything from our past
and with things we never knew possible.
But, Praise God we
have a Comforter!!! Praise Go our Lord did not leave us alone to fight these
battles!!! Praise God as new creatures in Him we have an advocate who died so
that we might live!!! Praise God, because of this newness of life we are made
whole in Him and His grace and mercy will forever be with us.
O child of God, if
you are living in sin today, come before the Father and beg for grace and
mercy!!! Seek His face!!! Run from your sin. Hide in the shadow of His wings.
Seek the guidance of our great Comforter. Don't let another day of living in
sin go by without seeking forgiveness from our Heavenly Father.
Seek Him. Praise
Him. Give Him the glory for saving your soul and guiding you through this life.
Remember, with Him we would be on our way to hell and eternal death and
torment.
