Galatians 4:3 So also, when we were underage, we were in slavery under the elemental spiritual forces of the world.
Do you look back on your life with fond memories or do you wish you could escape it somehow?
God gives us the ability to put everything behind us and to walk forward with Him in a new life.
As a child, you probably gave in to many things and as an adult you now choose whether to do so or not.
As we grow with Christ we become like adults in Christ and have a more informed choice as to whether we go back to those old lives or continue on with Christ.
