Have you ever been called out by someone for something you did wrong but responded with, “Well, that’s just who I am,” or some similar brush off? We tend to make light of our mistakes by diminishing their impacts and thereby refusing to change our behavior. The truth is that we can be changed, but only through the power of God’s Spirit within us.
II Corinthians 3:17 says, “Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.” Before we come to Jesus Christ in faith, we are slaves to our sinful desires. But Jesus has redeemed us through His shed blood, and we are set free from those sinful desires and habits.
