All of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. – Galatians 3:27 (CEB)
Our criminal history with God has been expunged,1 so why continually dredge it up in prayer? Before coming to Christ, Yes! we need to be aware we are sinners in need of redemption, but not afterwards!
Though I am a sinner in my sight2 I am not one in his! He see me redeemed, clean, and dressed in his beloved son! He begins his character changing work in me, making me more like Christ in my actions, not from guilt but gratitude.
Prayer: Father, I am grateful that though I see my failures you see your son who died for my sins and ever lives his life in and through me!
Sound Bite: I have given my life to Christ, I am redeemed, and I will not let anyone tell me different.
