Shadow or Substance

After weeks of freshly brewed 'branded' coffee, I resorted back to 3-in-1 instant coffee. Not nearly as good as the freshly brewed, but I'm gonna just 'live with it.' Some Christians, after having tasted the wonder of Grace, find themselves resorting back to old lifestyle & mindset - and sometimes even willing to settle with 'living with it!' Let's learn to walk in the Spirit, now that we're no longer bound by the flesh & learn to live, thrive, & enjoy life in the fullness, wonder, & power of God's grace thru Jesus!

Don't sweat the old stuff. Live not in the 'shadow' of the Old but in the 'substance' of the New: where the substance is of Christ. (Colossians 2:17 - which are a shadow of things to come, but the substance is of Christ.)
