2 Corinthians 5:17 talks about a new creation. It gives hope to those of us in Christ. It assures us of the blotting out of our pasts and the fresh start offered to us as we begin our future in Him. Romans 12:1-2 directs our walk in our salvation. It recommends that we keep from copying what the world presents as right; and instead get the mindset of God concerning how to live our lives.
It is amazing how many times God has offered this forgiveness to us. Of course He knows the future and He can see how many times we will mess up in the days, weeks, months and even years to come. He has already made provision for our failures and has dealt with our past, present and future sin.
We are truly forgiven, but we have not been given the license to sin, simply because of the grace made available through the life, death and resurrection of Christ and the apostle Paul deals with this in Romans 6.
So, as you go about your activities, it should be comforting to know that you are truly and fully forgiven. No longer do you have to walk around with trepidation waiting for God's lightning rod to hit and finish you. You are free from sin, death, hell and the grave. John 8:36. Feel free!
