Labels

David was an Adulterer.
a coward.

Rahab a Prostitute.
a liar.

Paul a Persecutor
a murderer.

These are the labels we would use.
These are the things we would say.

But God says

David
Man after my own heart.

Rahab
In the Savior's lineage.

Paul 
Forgiven.

They were not 
who the labels
 said they were.
And neither are you.

broken
weak
liar
adulterer
thief
addict

Those might be the labels given to you.

God gives you another

One who He loves.

Choose to hear the truth
and ignore the labels.



This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!
2 Corinthians 5:17
