Hi Pastor John,
I am watching the video from Saturday morning, and I had to stop and write because it feels so good!
We are studying the law in the Old Testament* and as we go through it, it keeps ringing through me how wonderfully true it is. It is my testimony. It is our testimony.
At our last Old Testament class, I told how before Jesus gave me the holy Ghost, I longed to be different. I wanted to be clean and good, but I couldn’t change some things. Back then I wanted to be like those who got up and went to church every Sunday and seemed to have a clean life. I failed so many times at even getting to that point, that when I did cry out to Jesus, it was to just take me out of this world, so I didn’t hurt so much in my failing life.
I never dreamed I could be what Jesus has made me. I never knew I could be clean and honest and good. I can say those things because I didn’t do that. Jesus did.
Jesus really did create a new heart in me and write God’s laws on my new heart.
When LeeAnn talked about every time someone gets the holy Ghost, they are getting the law written on their hearts, everything in me said “Amen!”
That is so wonderfully true, and I love seeing it and knowing that it is true.
To experience and live the truth of the shadow of the law is thrilling to me. I don’t have another word for how it feels.
What a life Jesus has given us!
From the inside out!
Beth
