Luke 2:1-14

Thought for the day: Although you can’t change your past, God can change your future.

You are unforgivable.

1. Close the door to your past.

- God’s grace is bigger than your sin.

But if we confess our sins to him, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all wickedness. 1 John 1:9

- Your standing with God is determined by relationship not rules.

“But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound.”

Therefore, if anyone be in Christ they are a new creation. The old things have passed away.

2. Step into your future.

- God saves you from your past so you can step into your future.

I don't mean to say that I have already achieved these things or that I have already reached perfection. But I press on to possess that perfection for which Christ Jesus first possessed me. No, dear brothers and sisters, I have not achieved it, but I focus on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead, I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us.

- Your story is not a story about your failure, but about God’s victory.
