Jesus! The Cross!

Something happened on the cross. Something so real and so true and so DIVINE we can hardly perceive it. Jesus didn't JUST die to pay the penalty for our sin. Now...that in itself is pretty profound but...that's not all that happened on the cross. He took you with Him. Your old sinful inner man was in Christ, on the cross.

When He died, your old sinful inner man died.

When He arose, you received a brand new SINLESS inner man.

Righteous, Holy, Sanctified, Justified.

A new creation, the old is gone.

You WERE formerly, a sinner.

Now, you are a saint.

You are not the same person.

And even better- as if it could get any better!

Christ lives IN YOU!

So- when someone or satan or yourself tries to resurrect your past (um, your old dead sinful man!)- say this, "Oh NO! She is DEAD and buried! I am not that person anymore!"

Simply, simply, simply choose to believe and live from what Jesus has done IN YOU, TO YOU and FOR YOU!
