I have been following a weight loss program since last month. The nutritionist instructed us to take a picture on the first day of the program and write "before" on the picture. Then, take another picture after a month and write "after" on the picture to see the difference.
That's why I thought about changes in our spiritual life. Every child of God has "before" and "after" "spiritual photos". We can all testify that after meeting Jesus, our lives are not the same as before we met Him. And that change continues throughout life. As we grow spiritually, our spiritual condition today is different from our condition yesterday.
This week, I want to remember verses that remind us of this truth.
"For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light." - Ephesians 5:8
In the life of every born-again Christian, there is a difference between the past and the present; there is a "once" and a "but now".
Once we were darkness, but now we are light in the Lord. Once we were lost, but now we are saved. We were once captives of sin, but now we are conquerors of sin. Once we were enemies of God, but now we are children of God. We must remember the "once" so as not to be proud now; we must remember the "once" so that now we expect new victories with faith.
