They are gone....

In the booklet I referred to two posts ago, there was a key truth about the 'old things' mentioned in 1 Corinthians 5:17:
'Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away, behold all things are become new.'
THEY ARE PASSED AWAY. Alleluia!
1. I am no longer under Satan's control.
2. I am no longer in the kingdom of darkness where Satan dwells.
3. I am no longer under God's judgement.
4. I am now able to please God.
The last one ministered to me the most. I can now please God when I became born again. I don't have to try, I am able to. How?
Well through the Holy Spirit.
I just wanted to take a whole post to just revel in the joy and peace and rest at knowing what all have passed away. What is no longer a part of me. What I am not.
In my next post, I want to share what I learned about the new creature that I am become. I like how the bible put it 'all things are become new'. It is a continuous and completed event.
So you repented yet? You gave Christ your heart and life yet? What are you waiting for? You have no control over your tomorrow.  Plan all you want. We all need Christ in our daily lives and in every area of our lives. Call out to Him today.

Delivered through Christ

In my last post, I shared how after many years I am just understanding fully what it means to be born again. I now continue sharing the other things I learned.
A next truth I learned was what are the old things that pass away that's mentioned in 2 Corinthians 5:17, 'Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature: old things have passed away; behold all things are become new'.
I knew I was a sinner under God's judgement. I was was a slave to sin. The new truth I realized was that I was a sinner not only because I committed sinful acts, but I was born a sinner and completely helpless to make myself right before God. Also, because I was born a sinner, I couldn't help but commit sinful acts. It was my nature. This is true of every human being.
That was a hard pill to swallow. Although I should have gotten this truth from reading about Adam and Eve sin in Genesis, I didn't. Not that specific one. I generally thought I am a sinner because of what I did and how I lived. I also generally thought that even though I gave my heart and life to Christ, and repented of my sins, that I will always be struggling with my old nature, and never be free of it, as Paul declares in Romans 7:24&25.
'Wretched man that I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death?
Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, I myself serve the law of God with my mind, but with my flesh I serve the law of sin.'
I don't have to be struggling. ..... I am delivered through Christ. Whoop.
When I was born again, I was delivered from the hold that sin and its consequences had on me. I now belong to Christ. I don't have to live according to the flesh anymore, once I remain in Christ.
Rom 8:9, 'You, however, are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, this person does not belong to him.
Are you born again? Are you in Christ? If yes, then your sinful nature has no hold over you. You belong to Christ. 
In my next post I will share more truths I learned.
Be blessed and learn from Christ.
