The New Creation Has Come,

All this has come from God as He has reconciled us to
Himself. We are no longer what we once were, the
old way has gone. We are now living a life in Christ,
everything has changed. Like a snake shedding its
skin, we have deliberately shed the old and put on the
new. It does not mean we have become perfect, but
it does mean that our thoughts have become perfect
thoughts. Our minds and hearts dwell in the Lord, we
grow into His will as we shed our old will. The power
of God's love has overtaken us. We are still bound by
the human condition but we don't accept the human
condition as our holy power. We have now attached
ourselves directly to Christ Jesus. His ways are now
morphing into our ways, shedding our old life, putting
on the new.

Is anyone in Christ?
I am!
I pray to him and praise him all day long.
I share Jesus with everyone (except when I'm with my wife, she always beats me to it).
I can't imagine walking away from Jesus.
It's impossible.
It's like feeling pain free and then deciding you'd rather feel pain all the time.
Doesn't make sense, it's a perversion of the truth.
Eternal security?
Of course I have Eternal security.
I have Jesus forever.
OSAS?
Of course I am.
I know I will be with God forever.
His promise of eternal life is in me.
It will never leave me.
I will love him and serve him forever.
Amen!

seriously?
Our thoughts have become perfect?
Lol
GOD Is a SPIRIT and those who worship HIM must worship HIM our spirit to HIS SPIRIT and HIS SPIRIT to our spirit.

As the Psalmist, who knew grace and mercy, has written….….blessed is he whose transgressions are forgiven against whom God does not hold the guilt of his sin.

We are seen as perfect………..it is trueand it makes (is making) us perfect.

Mysteries not yet understood should not be debated it seems...…….Mary understood this and held all she did not understand to herself.
