Do You Know What You Are?

You see, God’s Word is a mirror. And if you want to know what you’re really like inside, you have to look in the mirror. The first time you look in the mirror, it’s horrible. You discover you’re a sinner. You’re defiled. Your garments are horribly unclean. But if you’re wise and you act on what God shows you, you repent and trust Jesus for salvation, you’re cleansed, you’re washed, you’re sanctified. God takes away your filthy garments and clothes you with a garment of salvation and a robe of righteousness.

And next time you look in the mirror, you’re astonished. You don’t ever see that old person. You see somebody quite different, new, changed, transformed. But that’s only the beginning because God intends to go on changing you.
