Devotional
Again, beloved, with Jesus in your life, you’re completely never the same person again. There is something new and different about you.

Secondly, you now have the Holy Spirit living inside of you (1 Cor 6:19), and you’re a friend of Jesus (Jn 15:15). And you know what this means, God isn’t angry with you anymore because of your sins and former way of living. Because Jesus Jesus has cleared them all. As it is written in Rom 3:25,
