Don't be enslave by your past

Many people are enslaved by the memories of their past. They could be cheerful one moment and depressed the next moment all because they remembered something that happened in the past. But from the moment you were born again, your past ceased to exist!

2 Corinthians 5:17 says, “...if any man be in Christ, He is a new creature, old things are passed away, behold, all things are become new.” we Christian are a new creation, and the new creation has no past; he never existed before. Your old nature, the old you and everything about your earthly, natural human life was supplanted by the life and nature of God at the New Birth.

God looks at you as a new creature now, He doesn’t see an old, wretched, struggling “sinner saved by grace”; rather, He sees Christ, because you are in Christ. And in Christ, you have been made righteous; you are the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. What is so extraordinary that Jesus accomplished for us is remission of sins.

Our sins, past, present, and future were remitted before we came into Christ; this was legal. But we came into the vital experience when we were born again. So, even when you remember a past mistake and you feel bad and ask God to forgive you over and over again, He doesn’t have the record; He doesn’t remember.

Speaking to Israel, concerning this new covenant, He said, “…their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more” (Hebrews 10:17). Do you think He would relate to us any less, considering that we are produce in this new covenant, established upon better promises? Christ Jesus Christ paid the full penalty for sin in His death on the Cross.

The Bible says it was important that Christ should suffer for our sins (Luke 24:46); and now we walk in newness of life. Romans 6:4 says, “Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.”

You are forever blameless in the sight of God, because Jesus died to “…present us holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight” (Colossians 1:22).
