The Big Idea:
You and I are able to put the past behind us because it has been forgiven. Every day we experience new mercy and grace. We let go of old hurts, habits, and hangups. Sometimes we have to daily, intentionally let go of the old life. We choose new life in Jesus. We refuse to go back to who were and what we were.
Main Points:
1. There are many cautions in the Bible about looking back. God intends for us to keep our eyes on him as we move forward
2. Even though we have been forgiven of our sins and the record of our offenses has been washed away by the blood of Jesus, Satan still likes to remind us of our past.
3. Instead of looking back, look up. Reach for the daily strength God wants to give you. And look forward to the future God already has prepared for you.
