What are you doing that proves your life has Changed? When you were saved ,you became a new person. But sometimes you still resort to your old ways of thinking, acting ,Talking and even believing, But that won’t do . You can’t hang on to who you were . The old you with all of its selfish ways used to guide your life, but now a greater God does that , so you have to let go of your old nature . Prove to yourself, to God and others that you are not the same person you were. As a Child of God you are growing, changing and forever becoming the new and improved you. As you grow up you have to choose between the old and the new. Are you gonna go back to your old ways or will you keep moving toward a more holy way of life? Becoming more like Christ is a hard job but it’s a Command (See Rom.13:14;1 Cor. 11:1). Don’t let the world tell you that compromise is okay because holiness is too hard. You need to imitate His perfection, not respond to your flaws by saying “That’s just who I am , so deal with it “ No, that’s not who you are, that’s who you were. Now you’re a new person, changing, growing, becoming a better person and amazing Child of God. Look at the life of Paul . He was a violent person , persecuting early believers( see Acts 26:11) but he changed when he was given a New nature in Christ. You have to do the same. You can become more like Christ every day. And when you do , your reward will be good stuff like hope , joy and peace, everything that comes from obeying the Word of the living God. (See Acts 26:9-23)
