Thoughts for the day - 3/7/18

**Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.**
 2 Corinthians 3:17

**“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.”**
2 Corinthians 5:17

Being a Christian is NOT about a list of "don'ts" or trying to be something you simply cannot become.  So many of us go through the day trying not to do and not to say and not to feel.  And in not achieving this, we are left feeling guilty and depressed.  But this is clearly not what Jesus has died for.  He died to forgive us our sins, to free us from the wages of our sin and to give us Freedom from this constant guilt and lack of self confidence in our walk.

When you give yourself to Jesus, you give your old self, all of it and the Father gives you a new Spirit, a Spirit of the Lord, you are a new creation!  You have been freed!  Don't live as slaves to these old temptations and feelings!  **True repentance, brings true freedom not partial, not purgatory, not probational.**

Live your life with a list of Do's -- Do Praise, Do Pray, Do Love, Do Care, Do Give, Do Bless and Do Share His word.  Allow the Spirit to fill your day completely and fully and there simply will not be any room left for the don'ts.


Many Blessings.

Craig
