We are all in different places in our walks with Christ. Some old, some new. But, looking back on your life, what would you change? Would you change anything at all? Would you want a do-over?

Nope and here's the simple, bottom line reason why:Born_Again said:We are all in different places in our walks with Christ. Some old, some new. But, looking back on your life, what would you change? Would you change anything at all? Would you want a do-over?
To God, who knows the end of all things from the beginning, it won't matter how many times we restart our lives because God already knows we will sin no matter what. Some ask the same question about Adam and Eve. They ask; Why didn't God just start over with a different Adam and Eve if he already knew they were going to eat of the tree of good and evil? To answer this question, I always bring up the case of what occurs at the end of the millennial reign. It didn't matter that the nations of the world saw God sitting right in front of them for one-thousand years, Satan, in all of his guile, STILL found a way to convince them all to unite in an effort to take the city. Would a do over matter at that point for all those concerned? NO. Iniquity didn't start with Adam or anyone else, it started with Satan. As long as Satan is allowed to run rampant on the world, a do-over won't matter, because whatever problem you may have encountered in the past pales in comparison to the adversary who is THE problem. The real "do-over", or regeneration will come on the day of the Lord when we are redeemed and given our incorruptible bodies.(Romans 5:12) "Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:"
(Ezekiel 28:13-17) "Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created. {14} Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire. {15} Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee. {16} By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire. {17} Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee."
