"I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me." Galatians 2:20
Beloved friends,
Without a sincere relationship with God, you will always be controlled by people, money, and your past experiences. Knowing and accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior gives you a new identity and makes you a new person.
The Apostle Paul made this truth clear to the believers in the Church at Corinth, "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here! 2 Corinthians 5:17
The Psalmist also wrote, "You have searched me, Lord, and you know me. 2 You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar.
Psalm 139:1-2
Knowing and allowing God to be in full control of your life does not leave room for any other entity to control you. May the Holy Spirit direct you in such a matter.
