Jesus is not an Accessory

Life must be reoriented around Jesus. Some people treat Jesus like an accessory rather than primary focus. Jesus doesn’t do remodels, He does complete re-builds. Before you come to faith in Christ and are regenerated, all you can do is sin. Once you get saved, you don’t have to. You will look the same and have the same personality but you will not have the same hunger for sin and bent to rebel against God. You still sin but no longer have to. The power and penalty of sin is broken in your life. You can make the conscious moment by moment choice to walk in the Spirit and experience life and peace or walk by the flesh and experience sin and its consequences. Things get messed up when we try to make Jesus an add-on rather than the main thing.
