It is so vitally important that once you become a new creature in Christ that you leave the past exactly where it belongs.. in the past. The worst thing that you can do is to continue to live in the past and relive what was, could have or should have been. Isaiah 43:18, "Allow God to do a new thing, it shall spring forth, shall ye not know it." How can you expect God to do a new thing if you keep are constantly stuck in the past?
Romans 8:1-2," There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death." Once you come to Jesus, the devil will continually use his lies and deceit to make you think that you were better off in the world. The devil is a lie. Do not allow yourself to be beguiled, spoiled and judged. Hebrews 12:2, "Jesus is the author and finisher of our faith."
Learn from your mistakes and why you stayed in transgressions and iniquities. As soon as Adam sinned in the Garden of Eden, sin was put in all of us. Therefore, God already knows that we are going to sin in some way, shape or form. What matters is that we allow the Holy Spirit to come into our lives and teach us whatever is necessary so that we don't consistently repeat the same mistake over and over.
Remember learning has not taken place until there has been a modification in behavoir. If you continue to do the same thing, you will get the same result. Therefore, when you gave your salvation you were basically saying that you tried it your way and it failed. Now that you are doing it the way of Jesus, you must do differently in order to get a different result.
Only the Holy Spirit knows our tomorrow, so we must live each and every day to the absolute fullest as we prepare for tomorrow. Learn from your past, but don't stay in the past and your today and your future will be that much brighter.
