I am every man who at a time did not know God. I am every man who was drawn to the Lord, by the Lord, and chose to accept Him. I am born again, saved by the grace of Jesus Christ who paid the debt for my sin. I am a Christian. I am growing in my relationship with Him. I am not perfect. I am every man who has struggled with lust; pornography; masturbation; a sexual relationship outside of marriage; an ungodly view of women. I am fighting against it. I am openly confessing my struggle. I am justified in the Lord’s eyes. I am dedicating my life to glorifying my Lord. I have been made clean. Set free.
But who am I? A child of God. One who cries “Abba, Father.” One who depends on the Lord. One who is nothing apart from my King. One who will not cheapen the grace that is given to me. Alive in Christ. Set apart. Sanctified. Called to live a holy life. Ready to change. Open about my sin. Ready to talk about my sin. Refuse to be defined by my sin. Told to be free from sin. Sick of sin.
