You are now no longer defined by what you once were or did!
Because you have been reconciled to God through Christ, you are a new creation, totally accepted by Him, completely forgiven, 'washed clean' from all guilt, free from condemnation, a prince / princess in His kingdom. Above all, you are now a child of God, and He is your Father.
Right thought determines right behaviour. God will graciously lead & discipline you, through His Holy Spirit, godly leadership, other people, and in line with the Bible, to renew your minds & hearts in accordance with the truth of who you are in Christ. He will help you to further repent of worldliness (cf 1 John 2:15-17), and also help you to forgive those who have sinned against you & rejected you. In this way you will become free to be all that God wants you to be! Remember, Jesus Christ is now your Lord, you have been crucified with Christ, and we are to be faithful children!
The Holy Spirit is now at work in you to will & act according to God's good purposes. Give yourself to fulfilling the Holy Spirit's leadings!
