Past religious experiences cannot bear all the weight of life. When we think that our religious experiences have failed us, we tend to want to go back and fix them with a new and better experience. This makes faith about our experience. This is too often tied to our unreliable emotions and craving for magical moments. The object of our faith is our Lord. It is not about redoing our conversion, baptism or some moment of total consecration. It is to live this present moment, totally trusting Jesus as our Lord, Savior, Sanctifier, Redeemer and Friend. This becomes today’s experience of God and not yesterday’s.
“Therefore leaving the elementary teaching about the Christ, let us press on to maturity, not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God.” Heb 6:1 (NASB)
