Wicked people do what
wicked people do; they blatantly sin against God. Nothing they do should ever surprise us. But, wicked people are not necessarily stuck
in their wickedness. People can, and do,
change. When wicked people get tired of
their wickedness and turn to the Lord, they change their ways. When they do change, they shall live and not
die in their sins. It is an amazing
thing when the Lord redeems the wicked.
No matter how bad of a
life a person may live, when Jesus takes residence in the heart, an amazing
thing happens in heaven. God wipes from
His memory bank all their past sins. He
has the mysterious ability to remember their sins no more. He looks upon the righteousness of Christ in
the soul and looks no further. It seems
like God would be like us, but He’s not.
When we are forgiven
and let Christ take over our lives, we still remember what we have done. We may be able to bury our wicked deeds deep
within our memory bank, but they are still there and come back to haunt us
throughout our lives. Satan refuses to
let us forget how bad we were and he tries to convince us we are still as bad
as we were. But, God declares us to be
different. We become new creations in Christ; the old self passes away and we
become new in Christ.
In Christ we
live. We live differently and we are
deemed to be righteous in Christ. We
live honorably before God and man. What
we do pleases God. Only in Christ can
our wickedness be done away with. Only
in Christ can God consider us to be righteous.
Yes, the wicked can be miraculously changed. It is possible for our standing with God to
change. It is possible for us to live
eternally in God’s presence.
Don’t ever let Satan
try to convince you otherwise. It is
impossible for us to do it, but with Christ all things are possible. Believe God, trust Christ with your soul, and
you will be forever set free from the sins that bind and destroy you. No matter how bad of a sinner you may be,
Christ can forgive you and change your life forever.
