We were all rebels. We were all sinners. At one time, we lived in agreement with Satan. It is his spirit working in the hearts of the disobedient. Every single one of us should be chained in a dungeon, and left to rot.
But that's not what the King did. The King made a way, so everyone could go live in the palace -- all of the losers, the foolish, the mean, and the cruel. The wrongs we did do not hold us. Our pasts do not exclude us.
God designed the world, and designed life. Joy, and peace, are derived from agreeing with the design, and, therefore, with God. Clinging to the past will not produce joy, and peace. Clinging to dreams of the future will not produce joy and peace.
It is, as we choose Jesus, and become united with him, that God's Spirit begins to work in us. Then, we work in agreement with him, and complete his work, and the assignments he gives us.
