I like to draw, and I must confess that I find using an eraser so gratifying. I know this might sound weird. It’s wonderful to see my mistakes disappear and a clean page set before me. After that, I can create new, better artwork.
Don’t you wish life was like that? Don’t you want to easily undo all your past mistakes? You can do it! Jesus Christ has enabled it! Through the redemptive power of his death, we can have our sins cleansed:
2 Corinthians 5:17 KJV
Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
This is a beautiful vow from our Father. If we accept Christ, we are promised a “clean slate”. Our old sinful nature is no longer. It has been “erased”:
Ephesians 4:22-23 KJV
22 That ye put off concerning the former conservation of the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;
23 And be renewed in the spirit of your mind.
Jesus has given us a second chance.
Take it.
