Our origin cannot be changed. We cannot change where we come from; whether it be our birth place, parents, nationality, or our past spiritual state. Our origin or our beginning is an important part of our testimony for Christ. Your testimony is the story of your suffering, triumphs, struggles and victories. It is the story of your transformation into the image of Christ. For your past cannot condemn you if you are presently in Christ Jesus.
God is in the business of transforming people. Don’t fear your past. It is the springboard for the great things that God wants to do in your life. Satan will oftentimes use your past to depress you and suppress the reality of where you are in Christ Jesus at this present time. Don’t believe his lies. You are not the same person. If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature, old things are passed away, behold all things are become new. (2 Corinthians 5:17). Ask your Father in heaven to show you how you’ve changed. You will begin to see that your desires, thoughts, and actions are different. Be sure to thank him for his goodness. Thank him for his grace. And make a commitment to live each day better than the last.
