Over the last few months I have
had some conversations around
the 'human condition'...
Sin Nature....
- When that happens...
or
- What that means...
many believe that
little children are sinless.
Born with a 'clean slate'
and then
sin messes them up...
Hmm
David writes:
Ps 51:5 Surely I was sinful at birth,
sinful from the time my mother conceived me.
Paul writes:
1 Cor 15:21 For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead comes also through a man.
22 For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive.
I am reminded
that outward actions
are a Symptom
of inward reality
My nature
My 'bent'
are reflected in Sinful Actions
not the other way round...
Now that I Have asked Jesus to forgive me
and set me free from my old nature
I can
CHOOSE
to crucify
that sinful self
and Live
a Spirit Led life
Day by Day
moment by moment
Not a one time thing
but a
consistent
ongoing choice
Living Into
what God has made me
Oh Thank You Jesus
from setting me free
from that which I was born into.
Thank You for
a new nature
that reflects You
in me....
as I choose....
Yeah. :)
