Most people say, I'm "too nice." But there is no such thing as too nice, because God has infinitive love that's never ending. Most people say, I'm "too honest." But if I were a liar, then the truth can't live with me. Most people say, I'm "so religious." But forget religion. It's the only thing that holds people back from God. It's a personal relationship, not rituals or religion that sets you free. Most people say, I'm "very pure." But I can honestly say that I wasn't always like this. However, there was a change in me. Most people say...a lot of things. It's just awkward because they don't see the same picture that I see. What I see...is God setting me free, making me a new creation, and forming me into the person He wants me to be. Ever since I gave my life to Jesus Christ, I've always been trying my best to live a life worthy for Him. So what most people say...are just funny labels on me.
In 2 Corinthians 5:16-17 Paul says,"So from now on we don't look at anyone the way the world does. At one time we looked at Christ in that way. But we don't anymore. Anyone who believes in Christ is a new creation. The old is gone! The new has come!"
In Ephesians 4:21-24 Paul says,"I'm sure you heard of him. I'm sure you were taught by him. What you learned was the truth about Jesus. You were taught not to live in the way you used to. You must get rid of your old way in life. That's because it was polluted by longing for things that lead you down the wrong path. You were taught to be made new in your thinking. You were taught to start living a new life. It is created to be good and holy, just as God is."
