Good day Believers, how are we doing today?.
And I heard a pastor say this one time,
"You don't get clean to get in the shower. You get in the shower to get clean"
Don't think that you are going to get yourself, get your life together and be perfect for God to accept you. He loved you before you knew how to demonstrate love. He loved you before you knew what love was.
All you got to do is come as you are. Then you become a new creation in Christ. It didn't say you become a creation out of Christ, it said you become a new creation in Christ.
So you don't have to do it outside of him.
