10/26/22 YOU CAN'T PUT NEW WINE IN OLD WINE SKINS

10/26/22 DON'T PUT NEW WINE INTO OLD WINE SKINS 

DON'T PUT NEW WINE INTO OLD WINE SKINS 

Early converts did not just get forgiveness of sins, they got newness of life; old things (attitudes, habits, values, relationships, plans, views) passed away.

This is still true to day. There is no conversion without the person abandoning the corruptions and fallacies of their earlier life, their "natural" life, their fleshly life, their worldly life, their self oriented and self serving life.

Sadly, few believers are taught that salvation takes them into wholeness and holiness of life, which means thinking, behaving and relating Biblically. This includes instantaneous transformation and instantaneous deliberate changes. This also includes a life of continuous growth, change, surrender, obedience.

The changes brought about through the Christian experience and life is not a burden, but a blessing; it is not legalistic rules and regulations but a liberating love relationship with Jesus; it is not a dark life of misery but it is light, love and life through the power of the Holy Spirit.

Don't let the devil tell you that you can hang on to yesterday's deceptions and still be a partaker of Divine nature.
Don't love the world.
Don't be a friend with the world.
Don't trade God's revelation for your own misconceptions.
