1 Corinthians 6:9-11
"Such were some of you; but you were washed..."It is essential to remember who I was and Who has made me the man I am today! I have not ceased being an idolater or a coveter because of any merit of my own. Paul reminds the Corinthians that certain actions reflect the wickedness within a person's heart and that we have been those people. Something happens in the life of a man/woman who becomes a Christian; it is something marvelous and wonderful. Through the Lord Jesus Christ the Holy Spirit transforms their life, washes them clean and sets them apart from their previous lifestyles to the purposes He has for them.
Let's not forget what it was like in our pre-Christian days to be longing for "something more" and looking for "something to provide significance". We were just like them and now we have been made new, through Christ. With humility, not forgetting where we have been, let's recommit to be the bearers of truth and hope this world is in desperation to experience.
