I was born that way

I was born that way

I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. And I will put my Spirit in you and move you to follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws. Ezekiel 36:26-27 NIV

I heard about a song titled, "I was born that way." The song is a reference to the singer’s bisexuality. For homosexuals and their supporters, there is no shame in doing what comes naturally. But with God, it is more than what comes naturally. God calls us to live beyond the impulses and cravings of this body and onto something Supernatural.

Here's the thing... the homosexual's "excuse" is that they were born that way. But we have all been born into "some way" that lures us into a life against God... It’s called sin. No matter what the sin-indulgence is, it is what separates us from God. Sin is the spiritual illness that will lead us all straight to Hell.

There is only one fix for our sin predicament, Jesus. When a person accepts the gift of salvation, God causes a change. The Lord may love you as you are, but He will not allow you to stay the same. God can (and will) do what none of us can do for ourselves; he can change our nature. He alters the things that come naturally and gives us a desire to be connected to Him in the supernatural. We who follow Christ are not defined by our sin; we are defined by the Cross of Christ. You and I were never born for sin; we were born to belong to God. We were not born to be hostile toward Him, but to be at peace with Him because of Christ.
