"Out with the Old" Pt. 2: Let Go Of Your Regrets
from New Covenant Fellowship, Stillwater OK · host Pastor Cornell Cannon
(1) bring these regrets to God—confessing and repenting of our sin that created these feelings—to receive forgiveness from God - (”If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.“ 1 John 1:8-9 ESV); (2) forgive ourselves by remembering the Spirit has set us free in Christ from the condemnation of sin and death - (“There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death.“ Romans 8:1-2 ESV); (3) focus on the next goal God is calling us to in Christ - (”Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.“ Philippians 3:13-14 ESV); (4) allow God’s grace to redeem our regrets by using our story to minister to others - (”For I am the least of the apostles, unworthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace toward me was not in vain. On the contrary, I worked harder than any of them, though it was not I, but the grace of God that is with me.“ 1 Corinthians 15:9-10 ESV); (5) give thanks to God for his patience, despite our shortcomings - (”The saying is trustworthy and deserving of full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am the foremost. But I received mercy for this reason, that in me, as the foremost, Jesus Christ might display his perfect patience as an example to those who were to believe in him for eternal life.“ 1 Timothy 1:15-16 ESV); (6) surround ourselves with Christian community for accountability and encouragement - (”And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.“ Hebrews 10:24-25 ESV); (7) Make every effort to lean into God’s grace and mercy concerning your past regrets. As we lean into God’s grace and mercy, we will eventually arrive at a point where we can live without our regret a) paralyzing us and b) preventing us from grabbing hold of what God has in store for us.
