12 But to all who did receive Him, who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God, 13 who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God. ~ John 1:12-13
We have been reborn of God. We are no longer simply flawed humans doomed to live in sin and filth for the rest of our lives. No, we are now cleansed, redeemed, purified children of God. We are no longer our old selves but instead a new creation in Christ Jesus. We have been redeemed, restored, and given a new life.
We have been set free from the yoke of slavery of sin and have been granted the status of sons and daughters of God The Father. So, we no longer have to give in to sin, but instead, we can overcome sin through Christ Jesus, for we overcome through the Blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony according to Revelation 12:10-11.
Peace. Love. Go Forth and Overcome the Yoke of Slavery.
