Don’t you wish you could put some things behind you? That there was a line you could draw across a point in time and say “That is not my life anymore, that was the old me.” As The Apostle Paul continues to remind his friends of the true gospel, he points to his own life and says “You remember my former life… but that is no longer my life.” The power of the gospel, the good news of who Jesus is and what He did, is that it can take your current life, and make it a former life. It can draw that line across a point in time and really say,  “All that came before is a former life, it is not your life any longer – you have begun life anew.”
