Prisoners of the Past

Don't be a prisoner of the past. What can you do to change your past? Nothing.  If you have confessed your sins to God, He has forgiven you through faith in Jesus Christ. It's time to leave your past behind and move forward. "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation, old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new" (2 Corinthians 5:17).

Is there something that you would like to change about your past? You may think there's no way that you can go back and make it right. It's too late. It may be too late for you to go back and change it, but it's never too late for God to change your past.

God alone can change your past, when He changes your heart. God forgives all your sins through Jesus Christ. You become a new person in Christ. As far as God is concerned, the old things of your past have passed away.

There is a cross where Christ died for all the wrong things in your past. By faith you come to Christ. You die to your past. Your past is buried with Christ. Through the power of God, you are raised to move forward with your life. Changing your past is in Christ at the cross. Your old things have passed away. Now, it's time to leave your past behind. Break free in Christ from the prison of your past.
