So in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith.
Galatians 3:26 (NIV)
If you’ve given your life to Jesus Christ, you have received a new nature. You now have the nature of God—God’s DNA—and no one can steal that from you.
As we discussed yesterday, nothing but your decision to accept Christ has the power to change your nature.
When you gave your life to Christ, that decision made you a brand- new creation in Christ. That’s who you are now. Your own mess-ups and poor decisions don’t change that identity.
Now don’t get me wrong, poor decisions can cause you to lose many things, including your mind, your health, your family, and even your freedom if you go to jail. You could get into addictions and mess up your entire life. If this happens, you might begin to think that God has abandoned you, that your chances are gone, you’re finished, and there’s no hope.
It’s not true. There is always hope. Even if you’ve drifted far away from God, you can rededicate your life to Christ. And as a child of God, you have the power to change your beliefs to line up with God’s Word. This is incredibly powerful. Your life can change dramatically, and you need to remember what the Spirit of God has done in your spirit.
No one has the power to take you from God’s hand, not even the enemy. He can lie to you all he wants and he will mess with your belief systems if you don’t keep studying the truth in God’s Word, but he can’t touch your spirit.
You’re a born again, Spirit-filled, Bible-thumping, tongue-talking, devil-stomping child of the King!
