You Can’t Have It All But You Can Have New Life Ephesians 4:23-32 In 1 John 2:15-16, the bible says, "Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world." In other words:
Whether we want to admit it or not, we love to hold onto the sin that this world has to offer especially our own personal sin. We don’t want to lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily besetus because we enjoy and are comfortable in the sin that we are in. The bible says that there is pleasure in sin for a season and we don’t want the season to change. And if we can, we will try to have it all and still get into heaven. We’ll:
But that’s not how it works! Once you accept Jesus Christ as your Savior, you also have to accept him as Lord. And your Lord says that if you love him, keep his commandments. You are required to put off the old sinful man and take on new life. You have to turn over a new leaf, you have to have a new outlook, a new drive, a new perspective that see’s the world the way God sees it. Now that you are in Christ, you have to let the old things pass away and let all things become new! You can’t have it all, but you can have new life! You see, even though Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forevermore, He makes change happen. When Jesus is in the mix:
When you allow him to be the shepherd of your life, change has to happen to you. He is the initiator of change. He is the catalyst that took you from darkness into the marvelous light. When you meet Jesus, you’ll never be the same again! You can't have it all, but you can have new life! Be blessed! |
