Those who belong to Christ have nailed their passions and desires of their sinful nature to His cross.’ Galatians 5:24
This verse is very interesting because many will look at it and say. “He’s meaning that our sins are forgiven.” Yes, our sins are nailed to the cross of Christ, but I don’t think that is what Paul meant here. He says ‘those who belong to Christ have nailed their passions and desires of their sinful nature to His cross.’ Galatians 5:24. I take this verse to mean that when we came to Jesus we left our sinful nature behind at the foot of the cross, covered by His blood, never to be acknowledged again. Yes. Our sins are forgiven, but we MUST leave them behind.

I am a young woman who grew up in British Columbia. In BC was all I ever wanted; I had my poodle (Max) and all my friends, Saturdays at the Vancouver Aquarium and Sunday afternoons at one of my favorite beaches it was paradise. But God had a different plan for my life and my dad's job landed us in Alberta and now where I remain, in small town Souris Manitoba. The transitions from paradise to prairie were difficult and I will admit that now 10 years later I still refer to home as Abbotsford BC. Through this crazy pathway trek across Canada I have had one true constant, God; and though none of it was easy, everything that has happened in my life has formed in me a true lasting friendship with the one I call Immanuel. Because no matter how far from home we are God is with us, and thanks to God I have found an almost completely over looked beauty in Manitoba. If you open your eyes you will see that God has planted wondrous things everywhere you go.
