Created in the image of God (Genesis 1:26)
How Can I Think So Much Differently Than I Did Before Christ?
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here (2 Cor, 5:17).
Here's why my whole life changed after coming to know Jesus Christ as my Lord. The old way of "thinking" was no longer. That was how I thought in the past! It was immoral, unhealthy and in disregard to the truth. If God is the Creator of Life and He knew me even before I was born, that means He (God) had a plan for my existance on earth. Some where in the depths of my being as a proclaimed agnostic I discovered truth about life. In the book of wisdom (Proverbs 14:12) it says that there is a way that seems right to man, but in the end it leads to death.
If God had a plan for me what was it I wondered. In the book of Jeremiah 29:11-13 it says this, listen closely; "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. If God truly had a plan for me than I wanted to know what it was he wanted me to do. I was either going to live my life my way or His way.
God's Word says; In their hearts humans plan their course, but the LORD establishes their steps (Proverbs 16:9). Prior to that verse (Proverbs 16:3), in same chapter it says; "Commit to the LORD whatever you do, and he will establish your plans." I did it...I said God I know longer want my will to be done, so I traded my will for His will and my life has never been the same again. It changed the way I thought, the direction of my course and life forever. I went from being a total idiot to a recovering idiot.
God's Word says; "Do not love the world or anything in the world." If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in them. For everything in the world-the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life-comes not from the Father but from the world. The world and its desires pass away, but whoever does the will of God lives forever.
I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me Galatians 2:20).
Jesus said; "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
The way to Heaven is through Jesus Christ; it's the truth!
The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance (2 Peter 3:9).
If you would like to dedicate your life to Christ and trade your plan in for His plans you can do it right now! Ready...

I Ask You To Come Into My Heart...
I Believe That You Died For Me...

“God created man in his image; in the divine image he created him; male and female he created them” (Genesis 1:27).
For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be (139:13-16).
