It's amazing how transforming the Gospel is to our lives! Especially marriage! As a believer in Christ, it can take time to really grasp the depth of God's truths. As I mentioned in a previous post, my husband Barry started a sermon series entitled Fireproofing Your Marriage. Barry and I celebrate our 13th wedding anniversary next month. Like so many young adults, we both spent years trying to fill a void in our lives that could only be filled by Jesus. That Jesus-size void was instead filled with many bad habits for both of us, some quite addictive. But to the glory of God, all things have been made new including us! I am so thankful that because of the Gospel and what Jesus did on the cross for all of our sins, we can present ourselves clean and pure if we ask for forgiveness and turn from our sins. Are there consequences for our bad choices we have made in our past even once we have asked for forgiveness? Yes, but the Good News of Jesus Christ can make even the worst consequences bearable. Darkness has no place where there is LIGHT! And we don't have to live in yesteryear! Glory to God for the Redeeming Blood of Christ! And for a marriage of almost 13 years that owes it's success to the Grace of God!
2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!
