“So now there is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus. And because you belong to him, the power of the life-giving Spirit has freed you from the power of sin that leads to death.” – Romans 8:1- NLT
It’s hard to ask the Holy Spirit to purify us because it means admitting our brokenness. Often, we would rather hide our mistakes or self-help our way to Jesus. But the Gospel is not about raising ourselves to God’s level. It’s about God sending His Son right down to ours.
Your past doesn’t have to paralyze you. Your mistakes do not define you. Your brokenness is not too big for the God who created the universe.
Sometimes, the most faith-filled thing we can do is come to God and admit that it’s too big for us to clean up and that we really cannot do this on our strength.
The truth is none of us can deep clean our lives. Our mess is a reminder that we need a Savior, and He is Jesus Christ.
