I came across a story stating that just a few days ago, Indian tennis ace Sania Mirza called off her engagement with a childhood friend. Their families have been friends for years. In fact, these two families have had some level of connection for over half a century. It would seem inevitable that the couple would be be married.
What interested me about this was the reason for their breakup. According to the article, nothing really dramatic brought it on. There was no deep, hidden secret that was revealed. It was simply this - they found themselves incompatible as fiances. They realized, fortunately before marriage, that their two lives simply did not fit together.
This morning beloved, I want you to think about that word, “incompatible”, and consider this: when Christ saved you, there was a line drawn in the sand; a door was shut that could never be opened again. Your new life in Christ is absolutely incompatible with your old life. These are two lives that simply do not, and cannot, fit together. You are an entirely new creation, and your relationship to sin can never be the same again. The words of Paul are unmistakably clear, “Old things have passed away, behold all things have become new” (2 Cor. 5:17). Thanks be to God, we are because of Christ forevermore incompatible with sin!
