Nuggets from Occult Invasion

Paul, in contrast, forgot the past and pressed on toward the prize (Philippians:3:13Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,
See All...,13) which is promised to all those who love Christ’s appearing (2 Timothy:4:7I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith:
See All...,8). The past is of little consequence if Christians truly are new creations in Christ, for whom “old things are passed away [and] all things are become new” (2 Corinthians:5:17Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
See All...). Though searching the past in order to find an “explanation” for one’s present behavior may seem to help for a time, it introduces uncertainty (“have I uncovered it all?”) and robs one of the biblical solution through Christ. What matters is not the past but one’s personal relationship to Christ right now.
