“If you don’t let the past die, then it won’t let you live.”
I saw that quote today and it made me think of the apostle Paul’s words in the following scriptures.
13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, 14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 3:13-14
Jesus is really serious about setting us free to live in all the freedom He died to give us. He wants to change us from glory to glory and for us to move ahead in Him in this life by renewing our minds to Him, to God’s Word. We have the opportunity of a lifetime to let God’s Word change us into Christ’s image. What a tremendous blessing.
Thanking and praising God in all things (Ephesians 5:20),
Mark
Note: While we may not agree with everything a particular church or Christian group teaches or believes, there are times when we can be blessed by something outside the realm of our current understanding of God.
