Life Anew
Ezekiel 11:19-20
“Then
I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit
within
them, and take the stony heart out of their flesh and
give
them a heart of flesh, that they may walk in My statutes
and
keep My judgments and do them; and they shall be My
people,
and I will be their God.” (NKJ)
Because
of our sinful nature, we come into this fallen world with a heart that is also
sinful and in time becomes hardened with self-preservation and pride—conditions
that causes us to drift away from our Creator without knowing how dangerous it
is without Him. This world and
everything in it is cursed because of the evil one, who poisons our minds,
hardens our hearts, and kills our souls, and Satan will continue doing so until
the Lord locks him away for good. We
must live and deal with our sinful nature as long as we are alive or until
Jesus takes us Home. But for the living, our Lord God has provided the Way that
we can escape the grasp of evil that holds us captive to the self-destructive
sins that leads to eternal separation from the Light of God.
Our
world has been so deceived by the lies of Satan that it's really hard for
people to know and understand what is truly true and what is not. God's Truth frees us from the power of sin
and death and promises us new life, while Satan's false truth draws us deeper
into our sin and promises only death.
God's Truth teaches us to know, love, and respect the One who created
us, while the dark truth inspires us to ignore and hate God, and blame him for
the woes of the world. God's Truth helps
us accept our circumstances, and tells us to live in thanksgiving to God for
the good things we have. But the false
truth causes us to despise our circumstances and blame others. By knowing the Way and the Truth that comes
from above, will bring Light and Hope into your life. Our Lord God and Savior
came, He taught, and He sacrificed His life to bring us a new eternal life.
A
Whisper of Hope
I rescued you,
dear child...to give you hope and a future, to earn your trust, and to give you a
new heart. I did not create you to live
apart from Me, for you cannot survive on your own. And I can give you what you need for a new
and glorious life that will never end.
Jeremiah 17:9
“The heart is
deceitful above all things, and
desperately
wicked; who can know it? (NKJ)
Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation;
old
things have passed away; behold,
all things have become new.
(2 Corinthians 5:17)
