IT’S IN THE PAST

Sometime ago I got a message from someone really close to me, at the end of the sms he wrote “the past is passed” this entire post is inspired by a picture I stumbled upon last night. Ever wondered why the past is referred to as ‘PAST’? its because that’s its poisition, that’s where it ought to stay, your past is behind you, however the decision weather it would walk with you into your future and you’ll drag it forever is left in your hand. Severally we’re comfortable in the pain of the present because we feel we have to pay a price for the past, we are content with less satisfying lives, with pains and discomfort, because we were such horrible things and did really horrible things in the past, and that’s the price to pay for our foolishness……… but havent you heard that he is God and that if any man be in him he’s a new creature and the past no matter how horrid is passed and all has become new, havent you been told that he is he who blots out our transgressions and remembers our sins no more, he said tho our sins be as red as scarlet his blood would wash us clean so long as you are in christ, you do not have any price to pay.

  Then it hit me again why do we even think we need to pay? Then somethimg was revealed to me “its our illusion, the ideas that we are in control” not everyone likes free things, I know a few people who do not like to accept free things, they’ll rather work tirelessly to earn what is been give to others free because there is a sense of achievement and full control over what they work for. This is a ver risky state to be in spiritually, salvation is frere and not by our works, hence we do not have to pay any price or work to purchase salvation, payment has been made for it on a cross several years ago, living in this uinderstanding is all we need. Funny thing is everyone has a past, everyone has had it dirty at some point of the other, no matter how clean they look, the difference is THE UNDERSTANDING.

  If you are in Christ, you don’t have to pay any price with God… saying you have to pay the price of suffering in your present because of your past is making null and void the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross. That sacrifice was the price paid. We are debt free as long as we are in Christ.
