“Once you were dead, doomed forever because of your many sins. You used to live just like the rest of the world, full of sin, obeying Satan, the mighty prince of the power of air. He is the spirit at work in the hearts of those who refuse to obey God.” Ephesians 2:1-2
Once moments pass us, we never get them back. We can’t rewind time we can only move forward.
So instead of living a life always looking back, we need to look forward at the life ahead, making sure from this point on, we don’t waste one moment doing useless or sinful things, or act in a manner that is displeasing to the Lord.
Life is too short to live in regret or live in doom.
We need to celebrate our new life in Christ. We need to cherish each moment He allows our hearts to beat. We need to cherish our families and friends. We need to use each moment spreading the Good News that Jesus is alive and because of Him we are alive.
Brethren once we were dead doomed forever because of our sins, but God is so rich in mercy and He loved us so very much, that while we were dead because of our sins, He gave us life when He raised Christ from the dead.
That is worth celebrating. That is the reason we should spend each moment looking to what lies ahead. He is the reason we keep on going. He is the reason we should live in constant thanksgiving and praise.
He is the reason for our joy. He is the reason we are alive and new in Christ.
It is His love that sustained us. It is His rich mercy that saved us from our past. It is the resurrection of His Son Jesus Christ that set us free.
We are alive in Christ, death has been overcome. Let’s share this rich love and mercy with others, so they too can be set free from the chains of their past and sin and live new in Christ Jesus.
Jesus thank You for setting us free! Thank You that we are no longer dead or doomed. We are alive because of You. Thank You, may we keep our eyes on what lies before us and may our hearts be flooded with constant praise. Amen
