hellochurch -> How I live in my 'New Man/Woman' (9/1/2008 12:52:56 PM)

Just a quickie note about living in my 'new woman' as the old woman of mine was put to death with Jesus, and I also put her to death daily, in the following way,....
....this whole train of thought came about while I read John Pipers article on the front page of the forums, about election. It is full of good things to spiritually eat.
With the same ease that is used to slip out of a dress and into another way, this is the way I slip into my 'new woman' that God has provided for me.
I dont struggle with putting the old one to death daily, but if I suddenly realize I am wearing my 'old dress', looking down I see the spots and stains, I quickly pull that one off over my head, and pull on the new one that Jesus gave me, the righteous one without spot or wrinkle and no stains.
This is how easy it is to live in the 'new creation or creature that God designed for us' it is no struggle at all, 'His yoke is easy' and I dont have to feel bad for any reason, He provided for me to FEEL GOOD, because I have 100% righteousness, if there is something even a tad wrong, re things I did or said, I go to Him with them and He throws them into the sea of his forgetfulness, (Can you Imagine a God so GOOD that HE deliberately wipes out all and every trace of everything I have ever even thought, let alone done wrong, when I take it to HIM? Now THIS I S L O V E !!! )
HE is sooooo gooood to us! Beyond what we can even ask or think! Imagine that!
Anyway, I just wanted to make the point that the bible says, 'the Way of the transgressor is HARD' as opposed to "My yoke is easy and my burden is light!"
We are soooooo blesssed with such greatness in every area of our lives, how can we not continually give thanks to HIM, just even for WHO HE IS., who he is alone is warrant for continually unstopping neverending adoration. HE IS SOOOOO GOOOOD!
HOw G-r e a t is our God (sing it to him, saints,!)

Sing to Him Saints,
S _ I _ N _ G!
