My favorite quote from this, "You can't live for God until you learn to live because of God, and you can't go and make good choices for God until you understand the gospel that says the choices you make don't make you who you are. What Christ has done for you makes you who you are." SOOOO TRUE! Every one of us is more than our best deed or our worst deed. We are worth God's love! "We are not struggling to be free; if we are in Christ, we are free to struggle!" We have to rely on God!
Here take a second and listen to this song. I encourage you to Google the lyrics, really get an understanding for the song. Also pay attention to the video!
Man this video hits me hard every time I listen to it. Seeing all the words and phrases on the chalk board...so many resonate with me. They do with everyone in some way or another. This song is about guilt. It is reminding us that we are forgiven by God if we ask for forgiveness and because of God's love, we don't have to worry about it any more. Our sins have been forgiven. There is no reason for us to feel guilty. Listen to what God has to say, "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." 1st John 1:9.
I always think of Tenth Avenue North as the voice of God. Here God is saying, "you are worth so much more than your sins, don't let Satan get you down or use your past to hold you back." This happens to me so often, where I am so caught up in my past. My past has been forgiven.
I also love when the water starts pouring down the chalk board. Literally washing away the past of other's (our) sins. It symbolizes how God makes up pure. At the end it repeats, "You've been remade." God has re-made us. He has taken away our sins and created us into His children.
Don't let the past hold you back, confess and trust in God!
