A Christian has no desire for their past life of sin, and should flee these things to lay hold on eternal life, putting off the old and putting on what is new. This is a promise of Christianity, where if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature, and old things are passed away, behold, all things are become new.

Welcome to the Days Appraise podcast, a daily devotional by the Institute for Creation Research. Sin and the Christian God. But thou, O man of God, flee these things, and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness. Fight the good fight of faith. Lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.
I Timothy six, eleven and twelve. A Christian has no desire for his past life of sin. As we see in our text, we should flee these things and lay hold on eternal life, putting off whatever is old and instead putting on what is new. The second verse of our study hymn, Higher Ground, expresses this as well. My heart has no desire to stay, Where doubts arise and fierce dismay Though some may dwell where those abound, My prayer, my aim, is higher ground.
One of the most precious promises of Christianity can be found in Second Corinthians 5 seventeen, where we see that if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature. Old things are passed away behold, all things are become new. We are told that we can put our old habits of sin behind us and live a new life in victory over sin and death. No longer can sin reign over us. We can live in victory.
Even doubts and fears can be dismissed from our presence. Our God has promised throughout His scriptures: Fear thou not, for I I am with thee. Be not dismayed, for I am thy God. I will strengthen thee, yea, I will help thee, yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness. Isaiah 41:10.
There is no need to be anywhere else. My prayer and my aim are to walk where He leads and be where He wants me to be. Only while there can we be assured of higher ground with Him.
