Set Free!
“I have swept away your sins like a cloud. I have scattered your offenses like the morning mist. Oh, return to me, for I have paid the price to set you free.” —Isaiah 44:22 (NLT)
Stop looking back and letting your past control your present and your future. Jesus has set us free! Great is his faithfulness; his mercies begin afresh each morning. (See Lamentations 3:23 NLT)
May we let the power of Christ’s love control us. Since we believe that Christ died for all, we also believe that we have all died to our old life. He died for everyone so that those who receive his new life will no longer live for themselves. Instead, they will live for Christ, who died and was raised for them. (See 2 Corinthians 5:14-15 NLT) If you have strayed in any way, return to your Redeemer and live for Him.
…anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun! —2 Corinthians 5:17 (NLT)
