“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold all things are become new.”
II Corinthians 5:17
There are times when I look back and for just a moment I am back to where I once stood as a man dead in my trespasses and sins. I am grateful beyond measure for the saving of my soul. When I look back and consider the depth and debt of my sins- I literally shudder. The mercy and grace of God is overwhelming and certainly undeserved. I will never ever be the same. I am no longer the man I once was. After I was saved I remember being at church and sharing with a dear man that I hated the fact that people would look at me and know the life that I once lived. I was blessed by what the man shared with me, “As you continue serving the Lord people won’t remember who you once were, but who you are now in Christ.” I hope to never forget those words.
There are times when it hits me hard and I will say out loud, “I am saved…I am saved.” My heart is gripped with a fire that is fueled by the grace of God and the Gratitude for what God has done in the saving of my soul. There are many blessings that I could list, but first and foremost I am a new creature in Christ! Glory to God!! Jesus is my Saviour and I am alive- I am truly alive! Hallelujah and bless His Name!
