BEFORE & AFTER (The Ultimate Makeover)

Perhaps you've heard something like this before "what's the difference between you & an unbeliever?" Maybe you've heard it said to another, maybe to you, maybe you've even said it! Indeed, one may be hard-pressed to point out an APPRECIABLE difference between unbelievers & some believers, especially carnal Christians (1Cor 3:3), but you & I know that something changed when we received Jesus Christ. So, the big question, "what changed?" or better still "before & after, what's the difference?" Let's consider this together:
1. Once I (spirit) was dead, now I'm alive (John 10:10, Eph 2:5)
2. Once I was a sinner, now I am a saint, I am righteousness (Rom 5:8, Col 1:12, 2Cor 6:14)
3. Once I was darkness, now I am light (Eph 5:8)
4. Once I was rejected, now I'm accepted (Rom 9:26, Eph 1:13)
5. Once I was the devil's spawn, now I am God's son (John 8:44, 1John 3:1)
6. Once I was without strength, now God Himself is my strength (Rom 5:6)
7. Once I was full of wickedness, now the God-kind of love is poured out in my heart by the Holy Ghost (Jer 17:9, Rom 5:5)
8. Once I was bound by sin, now I'm free from sin (Rom 6:18, 8:1) 9. Once I was under the curse, now the blessing of Abraham is on me (Gal 3:10&14)
10. Once I was under the devil's foot, now I'm seated FAR above him (2Cor 4:4, Eph 1:21 & 2:6)
11. Once I was separated from God by sin, now I'm joined unto Him in love (Isa 59:2, 1Cor 6:17)
12. Once I was heading straight for hell, now heaven is my eternal home! (John 14:2)
I don't know about you, but I just wanna dance & shout! Beloved, we've had the ULTIMATE MAKEOVER, we are not the same as before! Know it, recognize it, acknowledge it, meditate on it, confess it, believe it, confess it some more, then walk and live in the light of it! We're A NEW SPECIES, we're A DIFFERENT CLASS OF BEINGS! And in case you're not yet one of us, it ain't too late yet to join us and become LIKE GOD (1John 4:17) Come on over! Thank you for reading and sharing. GREAT GRACE!
