Romans 6:14

“For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.”

Sometimes a gentle reminder is all that is needed. We are NOT the old person we use to be, we are new. We have put on the new man since God’s grace came in, when we received the free gift of salvation.

Because we are still wrapped in this flesh and are constantly bombarded with temptation, and the distractions of daily living, we have a tendency to forget who we now are in God.

We forget that we have been delivered and set free. We forget that we are no longer that old person we use to be before God came in.

I am reminded, when God parted the Red Sea for the children of Israel, he told them to bring stones out with them to build a memorial. They needed that so they would not forget what God had done. For God knew just how short our memory can be.

We must do the same. We need a daily reminder of the goodness of God.

What do you have to remind you of just how far God has brought you?

What is your memorial?

It can be as simple as looking in the mirror each morning and specifically thanking God for the things he has delivered you from. Naming them one by one. Making this a part of your morning routine, just like brushing your teeth.

The purpose is not to glory in the past, but to remember that you are no longer that person.

Then you go on with your day, walking in the newness of life, rather than wallowing in the guilt of sin.

Be free, because God has made you free through Jesus.

You are NOT who you use to be.

This is Good News indeed!!
