Moving Forward

One of the most common traps of the enemy is to use our past against us. In 1 Corinthians 3:13, Paul says "Brethren, I count not myself yet to have laid hold: but one thing I do, forgetting the things which are behind, and stretching forward to the things which are before." Paul went from being a zealous murderer of believers to an enthusiastic minister serving Christ for the rest of his life. As Paul purposely forgets the sins of his past and moves forward through his life in Christ, we have the same hope to move forward in Christ in total freedom.
