You're a New Creation
2 Corinthians 5:17 NLT
"This means that anyone who belongs to Christ had become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!"
I did a thought just a few days ago about coming to Christ just as you are. If you haven't read it yet, I highly recommend that you check it out in accordance with today's thought. I will leave the link below, so that you don't have a hard time trying to find it. In that post, though, I discussed that we are encouraged and invited to come to Christ just as we are. We don't have to clean up our lives. We don't have to have a lot of money or the right las name. We are welcomed to come as we are, flaws and all. God's gifts are offered to us at no cost, because he sent his only son, Jesus Christ, to pay for our sins.
However, when people think they must get themselves together before coming to Christ, they don't realize that they must have Christ in order to become pure, in order to become clean. You can't do this on your own. Money can't buy this for you. It was through the bloodshed of our savior, Jesus Christ, that we are washed of our sins, iniquities and flaws. When you accept Jesus as your Christ and savior, you become a whole new person. Your old life, your past, your mistakes, your failures, your shortcomings, your flaws are washed away, and you are welcomed into a new life of purity, peace, love, joy, and abundance.
Have you accepted the Lord and been made new?
Come as you are post:
