Can we take any credit for the change in us ? The Bible teaches us that salvation is a free gift from God. But God gives us so much more than an assurance of heaven. We receive spiritual gifts that we can use to serve him in this world; and over time, he miraculously changes our heart – the way we look at and respond to life situations. The Apostle Paul in 2 Corinthians 5 : 17 taught talked about these changes when he wrote to the church at Corinth: “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation”. Friends, God has given you to free yourselves from the stress that comes with unforgiveness, conflict, or whatever the excuse may be. Allow God to guide you so that you can enjoy the days in ways that you never imagined you could. Remember what Jesus told His disciples, “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” (Matthew 19:26)
Ezekiel 18:31
Cast away from you all the transgressions which you have committed and get yourselves a new heart and a new spirit
