Admin	looks can be deceiving Posted : 19 Apr, 2010 12:51 PM A man buys and moves into a broken down house and begins to restore it from the inside out one room at a time.the previous owner had all but destroyed the home,but it was worth salvaging.The new owner works night and day fixing up the inside,one room at a time.To all who might pass by,it seems the old homeowner is still living there.The house still appears to be an absolute wreck.but the old owner isnt there any longer,and the house is on its way to being one of the nicest in the neghborhood,regardless of how it appears on the outside............Thats exactly how it is for Christians.christ works from the inside out.The old man who used to live in our bodies doesnt live there anymore.In fact,the bible uses the same language.The old man(the person we used to be)has died.Paul informs us that our old self is gone,replaced by a new man in the image of Jesus.Romans 6;6 Ephesians 4;22we are all a work in progress.........in Christ.........Steven Post Reply
