We all have things in our past that, at best, we're not proud of and at worst, we're ashamed of. But thanks to Jesus Christ, our history does not define our future. Paul said it this way in 2 Corinthians 5:17, "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!" What a wonderfully comforting and encouraging label for us to embrace - new creation!
