ChangedSample
Christ came into the world to change our lives completely. The most important problem He came to eliminate was sin. Jesus lived a perfect life, and that gave Him the right to take our place on the cross. Jesus paid the debt we all owed to redeem us. That sacrifice broke the power of sin over us. It freed us from an eternity without God and from a life bound by sin. We surrendered our sinful lives to Him in exchange for His holy life.
Christ not only removed sin but also changed the way we walk! That includes the way we speak, think, and act. Everything changes through His process of transformation in our lives. 2 Corinthians says: "If anyone is in Christ, that person is a new creature." "New creature" means a totally different person! If we surrender to Him, He changes the way we live and walk, until the day we are with Him in heaven.
The news gets even better! Jesus also came to transform our destiny! Not just our eternal destiny, but our destiny here on earth. Ten years ago, I was a very different person with a difficult future ahead of me; involved in a life of drugs and with several arrests, my destiny was not very promising. Thank God, Christ changed my life. I surrendered to Him in prayer and He launched me into my future on a new path, which would change my sin, my walk, and my destiny. He invites you today to do the same.
Say this prayer: Christ, I need you. I cannot live another day without knowing the true son of God, who is Jesus. I am a sinner, but I believe that you died for me on the cross and rose again. I can now enjoy that same resurrection. Fill me at this moment with your Spirit. Remove my sin, change my walk, and give me a new destiny in You.
