not what i once was


One of Satan's great lies and one that is embraced by liberalism in all its forms, is that I am what I am and I cannot change.

John Newton wrote in Grace for Today:
Though I am not what I ought to be, nor what I wish to be, nor what I hope to be, I can truly say that I am not what I once was, a slave to sin and Satan. And I can heartily join with the apostle and acknowledge that by the grace of God I am what I am. (ht)
That is, I am a new I am in the grace of the great I am. Praise God for regeneration, i.e., I am absolutely complete in Christ (2 Cor 5.17).
