Born Again Redo

This is a redo of my previous picture that I've drawn a long time ago. I redid it because when I drew the old one, I did it on my husbands old mac on GIMP and it was incredibly laggy. Now though, I have a windows laptop (still old though, it's XP) and I was able to draw it better.

Here's the old one: [link]

Instead of putting verses about being changed, I decided to put verses more relating to the Gospel. I'll post the verses I used at the end of the description.

There is a lot more symbolism in this one than what the old one had. Shackles/chains for example, represent how Jesus' blood sets us free.

I do want to make something clear though, I noticed on my old picture, for some reason, was confused with being a picture about someone who's half-good, half-evil. This is NOT anything like that. It's a representation of how the Holy Spirit changes someone by the blood of Jesus Christ. Another thing I'd like to say is that this also doesn't have anything to do with Lady Gaga or her song, "Born this way". On my previous deviation I noticed people who favorited my drawing also favorited art based off of that song. So please, don't misconstrue this for that song.

Here are the verses that's in the image, and then some!

The Gospel of Jesus the Christ

as it is written: “None is righteous, no, not one; no one understands; no one seeks for God.

_____

Romans 1:18-32

For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, because that which is known about God is evident within them; for God made it evident to them. For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse. For even though they knew God, they did not honor Him as God or give thanks, but they became futile in their speculations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing to be wise, they became fools, and exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God for an image in the form of corruptible man and of birds and four-footed animals and crawling creatures.

Therefore God gave them over in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, so that their bodies would be dishonored among them. For they exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.

For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural, and in the same way also the men abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire toward one another, men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error.

And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God any longer, God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do those things which are not proper, being filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, greed, evil; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malice; they are gossips, slanderers, haters of God, insolent, arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, without understanding, untrustworthy, unloving, unmerciful; and although they know the ordinance of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, they not only do the same, but also give hearty approval to those who practice them.
