Becoming a new Creature

​Matthew 18:3 "Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter into the kingdom of Heaven."
​When I became saved, I read this scripture it really stood out to me, as I pondered and reflected on what this truly meant. God was saying to me that in order to truly draw close to him and live out his word, you must become like little children. Little children are willing, eager to learn and of pure innoncence, so this is how we must be with God. Once we begin to read the word, then we will gain wisdom and understanding. Also, the more you soak in God's word, you will become that new creature/person that God designed for your life when he created you.

Growing up while attending Church, I remember being told that we were born into sin and this speaks volumes. After what happened with Adam and Eve in the garden, havoc was caused and things were destroyed. Satan also fell to earth after believing that he could be bigger than the one and only creator, Jesus Christ!
Since Satan fell here, he has deceived many and has allowed things such as sin, seem cool and glorified, when in reality it is not. If you don't repent from sinful ways and ask God to enter into your heart, then you will fall victimized to Satan's attacks and schemes that he wants for your life. You will stay stuck in the ways of what Satan likes and fall farther away from God, so this is why God says we must become like little children, by willing and eager to learn of and study his word. Doing this not only allows the word to enter into your heart, but once you do so, you will gain the fear of the Lord and make godly, wise decisions in your everyday life.

Matthew 16:24 "Then Jesus told his disciples, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me."
Turn from sin, choose to follow after God and start reading his word from beginning to end. The bible is the bread, truth and life and was written for the edifying of our souls. Following the biblical principles also allows you to tap into your true destiny that God has called for you and you can live out the biblical principles, and not the way of the world."

Romans 12:2 2 "Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.
