No matter what you have done, if you
are in Christ then you are a new person! I believe many Christians get stuck in bondage because they have
not fully realized who they are in Christ. Obviously His
ultimate sacrifice is what restores our relationship with the Father. However
when we accept Christ as our Savior we are made alive spiritually. We can live
in a way that we never could before.
Just as Christ physically died and
rose from the dead; we have died to our old ways and have truly been born again. Paul
tells us that as Christians we can count ourselves dead to sin, but alive in
Christ (Rom. 6:11) and that we should be transformed by the renewing of our
minds (Rom 12:2). How? Colossians 3 opens up telling us to seek things that are
above (God’s Word, how He wants us to live, etc.) and not to set our affection
on worldly things (sin, your worries, meaningless issues). You have the power to overcome ANYTHING and EVERYTHING that may be
stifling you. Actively and persistently control where your mind
is focused. Walk in this newness of life and get ready for a blessing.
Happy New Years 2012 !!!
