He guards all his bones; not one of them is broken.

Psalm 34.20

There are many important things we must learn, and one of them is that re-creation is not only a beautiful word; through re-creation, we were perfectly remade. The fall of Adam brought death into the world, and the nature of Satan contaminated all of us, although some more and others less. But he who was born again was re-created in Christ Jesus, therefore does not have any weaknesses.

The old man had many weaknesses, but the new man (who was remade in Christ) got rid of all those faults that death had imprinted on human nature. Even those who have been deceived by devil, once they are born again, they shall never again carry any weaknesses as punishment. As long as they confess their sins and ask the Lord for forgiveness, not one of their bones will be broken.

The greatest tragedy in the life of a child of God is to fall into sin, because his new constitution was made to resist all temptations. In fact, they can take us to the edge of the cliff, to the pinnacle of the temple, but, if we fear the Lord, we will not serve the devil. Those who fall, nevertheless, are forgiven when they confess their sins.

The glory of a Christian is to resist temptation. He should keep away from all temptations, but the same way as Jesus was led by the Holy Spirit of God to the wilderness to undergo temptation, we can expect the same thing to happen to us. But when we realize we are being tempted by the evil one, we must immediately fight back with the Word of God. A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it shall not come near you (Psalm 91.7).

The Lord guarantees that your bones, your structure will remain intact, if you are faithful to him. But if you have failed to watch, it is possible that you are being deceived by the devil and, in your soul, there could be some vulnerable areas. If this is the case, pray to the Lord and confess your sin, asking him to restore your life completely. He will surely listen to your prayer.

Many Christians make the mistake of not being straightforward to the Lord. But he knows all things! He knows even the dirtiest secrets in our hearts, because he is omniscient. If there is anything wrong in your life (for example, evil thoughts, temptations you have been playing with, which you actually enjoy), pour out your heart to the Lord and abandon these practices.

Everything in us must bless the name of God. Once we do that, the devil will not stand a chance. Therefore, do not allow any temptation to dwell in your heart. Be honest with God always and he will guard all your bones. And I pray that your garments are always white!

In Christ, with love,
