What holds you back? What weighs you down? Our past decisions have ways of wrapping their bony fingers around our ankles and dragging us back into a prison of guilt and regret. Just when we think we are “through” something, here come the thoughts that have a tendency to leave us feeling worthless.
This morning, a couple of verses jumped off the page as I read. Romans 8:1-2 say:
Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you free from the law of sin and death.
Paul reminds us that now, today, in this moment there is no condemnation if your trust has been placed in Jesus as the author and perfecter of your faith. No condemnation! Let that sink in. When we surrender ourselves to Jesus, the Spirit breaks the chain of slavery to sin. He frees us from the guilt of past decisions!
No more fear!
No more guilt!
No more regret!
NO MORE!
This day, in this moment, remember – – as a child of God you are free. You are a new creation. The old has passed and the new has come!
Live into that freedom today!
