From the moment we place faith in Jesus, our lives change. We
are no longer held in bondage to sin in the same way as we
used to be. While we will all continue to struggle with sin
throughout our lives, we are no longer slaves to sin. 
Instead, we are children of God. As His children, we are no
longer compelled to obey the sinful flesh as we should want to
follow, glorify, and obey God in every area of our lives. 

Many people have radical changes after placing faith in Jesus, 
and I had the privilege of seeing a man that God let me lead to
Jesus that exemplifies Romans 6:10-12. He was a gang
member in Chicago for many years, and I met him as a
teenager because I worked with his father for over twenty years.
Some five years later, He walks into my office and asks for a
truck driving job. I asked him if he is still messing up his life in
the gangs, he said No! emphatically. I asked did you convert to
Jesus or just reform? He said no to Jesus. A few years later, he
came back to my office and wanted to know more about Jesus,
He bowed and asked Jesus for forgiveness and asked Jesus to
save him. Praise God for saving sinners like us! He lives in
Rockford Illinois, and I found him a Pastor and a church to serve
at and worship. One month later, he was baptized and has been
living for Jesus for five years.

Whenever I think of this individual, I am reminded of the power
of the Lord. He can completely transform a person’s life and
give them a second chance. This man is always more than
happy to tell anyone about Jesus and how much He had done in his life.
