What if I told you that you can redefine your life? How would you do it? What would you do?

I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. (Galatians 2:20 ESV)

If you haven’t had time to be at church this past Sunday, then please click this link and listen to the sermon. Otherwise I want to continue the conversation we had this post Sunday. One key to redefining your life is to let your old self die.

It is to allow who you once were to die with Jesus Christ on the cross. Who you once were, what you once did, how you once acted is dead. There is no reason to keep returning to the reasons you died.

Some of us need to just do it and stop looking back because it only gets better from here. Believing that Jesus was raise from the dead allows you to live with him. You have a new chance at life because you believe God gives you that new opportunity when Jesus died for your past life.

The reason God gives you a new opportunity when you and I both know neither of us deserves one is because He loves us. Now you can argue that you were never too bad or despicable, but we know that it wasn’t because of despicability that we needed a new opportunity.

We need the new opportunity because we could never have reached our fully God given potential in our previous life before we believed in Jesus.

So, what will you do now that you have a life redefined by the love of God?
