The New Life We Have

Hola. As this is my first post, I just will write what is most important to my Christian walk, and thus to me; it is simple...I am being cleaned, bleached, made to be nice-smelling, groomed, and the old is being taken out as the new is coming in. Exciting! I am living the Gospel in my own life...being made into the very likeness of Christ. Being made into His image..more and more.

Now, does this mean that I am already Christ-like..in every aspect of my life at all times to everyone: no. I am, however, in that process, and will continue to proceed in this process until I die (for a brief second), then that process will be eternally complete and yet eternally unsatisfied as I love and enjoy Christ forever.

This is the power of the Gospel! To take sinful man (or women) who is selfish, dirty, lustful, arrogant, prideful, and full of vices and turn that very same person into a loving, kind, selfless, caring, sacrificing, bold testifier of the love of God. The new life that they (and I) are led on is the life that was meant for humanity, a life that is beautiful, holy, and pleasing to God..this is the New Life we have, an adventure to the the sound of God's victory march.

I'll be straight with you all..I'm pumped for this New Life and I am full of love and gratitude for the Lord who made this possible with His sacrifice. As a result and in response, this is the love that we are to carry to the sinful world that we dwell in, a message of love and a message of promise for New Life!

Anyway, that is my first post and the desire of my heart...to become more like Christ and to continue in the New Life He has provided. Yeah Boyeeeee....
