Galatians 2:18 For if I build again the things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor.
Imagine a dead body. Then imagine carrying that dead body around with you everywhere you went, having it with you in the car while you drove. Taking it with you to a friend’s house. Even taking it to church with you. Sounds pretty bizarre doesn't it? Well it’s no difference when we try to incorporate our old life into our new life. There is no room for that dead man, that old life. 2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
Lugging around a dead body all day will weigh you down. Being that the flesh is no longer alive it begins to rot and produce a foul smell as well. 2 Corinthians 2:15 For we are unto God a sweet savour of Christ, in them that are saved, and in them that perish: This shows us how different the old man is in comparison to the new man. Simply put our old lives stink.
Grab and go: Luke 17:33 Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it. We have to stop holding on to the things that’s attached to our old lives. Things such as people, material possession, and most importantly our own selves. You are not the same anymore. You are a new creature. Therefore let go of your pass and walk in newness of life. Romans 6:4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
