“He will make her wilderness like Eden” (Isaiah 51:3)

If Christ has saved you, He’s redeemed you from a barren wilderness of sin. “You shall no longer be termed Forsaken,  Nor shall your land any more be termed Desolate … For the LORD delights in you, And your land shall be married” (Isaiah 62:4).  

How did God accomplished this? “I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you shall be clean; I will cleanse you from all your filthiness and from all your idols. I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you…I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes” (Ezekiel 36:25-27).

You were once dead in sin, but He’s given you His Life (Romans 6:4). You’ve become a “partaker of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust”, so “put on the New Man who is renewed in knowledge according to the image of Him who created him” (2 Peter 1:4, Colossians 3:10). “Walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing Him, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God; strengthened with all might, according to His glorious power, for all patience and longsuffering with joy” (Colossians 1:10-11).

If you let Him, God will “make you complete in every good work to do His will, working in you what is well pleasing in His sight” (Hebrews 13:21).

Is your life a Garden of the Lord? It can be, if you yield to Him unconditionally. “These are the ones sown on good ground, those who hear the Word, accept it, and bear fruit: some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some a hundred” (Mark 4:20).
