Jesus Christ is my Lord & Savior. New interview on YouTube with John Alite.👇
For a long time, I thought condemnation was just s For a long time, I thought condemnation was just something I had to live with. Even after I came to Christ, I still carried the weight of my past. I knew God had forgiven me, but deep down I wondered if He was still disappointed in me... if He was just tolerating me. Then I really began to understand Romans 8:1: "There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus." Not less condemnation. Not delayed condemnation. No condemnation. Because Jesus already bore it. That changes everything. I don't have to walk into God's presence wondering if He's angry with me. I don't have to keep punishing myself for sins Christ has already paid for. I don't have to let my past define my relationship with my Heavenly Father. I can live free, not because my past wasn't real, but because Jesus' sacrifice was. BUT GOD. The verdict over my life has already been spoken. In Christ, I'm no longer condemned. I'm forgiven. I'm accepted. I'm free. RobertBorelli.com #ButGodMovement #RobertBorelliStory #MyStoryMatters #ThrowbackThursday #FromMafiaToMinistry
For most of my life, I was chasing acceptance. I For most of my life, I was chasing acceptance. I just called it something else. Respect. Status. A reputation. I wanted people to look at me and think I was somebody. And for a while, I got what I was chasing. The problem was... it never lasted. The respect I built could disappear overnight. It depended on what I did, who I knew, and how people saw me. Then I met Jesus. I discovered a kind of acceptance that doesn't have to be earned and can't be taken away. Because of Christ, I'm already fully accepted by the only One whose opinion truly matters. That changed everything. I don't have to prove myself anymore. I don't have to chase my worth anymore. I don't have to build an identity that can disappear overnight. BUT GOD. "To the praise of His glorious grace, with which He has blessed us in the Beloved." - Ephesians 1:6 The acceptance I spent years searching for was never going to be found in this world. It was waiting for me in Christ all along. RobertBorelli.com #ButGodMovement #RobertBorelliStory #MyStoryMatters #TuesdayTruth #FromMafiaToMinistry
One of the greatest freedoms I've found isn't just One of the greatest freedoms I've found isn't just knowing that God forgave me. It's knowing that He accepts me. For a long time, I thought I had to earn His approval. I figured if I prayed enough, served enough, or somehow made up for my past, maybe I'd finally measure up. But that's not the Gospel. Jesus died the death I deserved. And He lived the perfect life I never could. Now when the Father looks at me, He doesn't see all the failures that once defined me. He sees the righteousness of His Son. That means I don't have to spend my life trying to prove myself to God. I can rest. I can worship. I can serve Him, not to earn His acceptance, but because I've already received it through Christ. BUT GOD. The peace I've been searching for was never going to come from trying harder. It came from trusting what Jesus has already done. "There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus." - Romans 8:1 RobertBorelli.com #ButGodMovement #RobertBorelliStory #MyStoryMatters #MondayMercy #FromMafiaToMinistry
There's a verse that still stops me in my tracks: There's a verse that still stops me in my tracks: "For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him." - 2 Corinthians 5:21 For years I thought I had to carry my past with me everywhere. I figured God put up with me, that His mercy covered me, sure, but there was no way He could fully accept someone with my record. Then I actually understood the Gospel. Jesus didn't just die so my sins could be forgiven. He lived the perfect life I never could have lived. And when I put my trust in Him, that perfect life got credited to my account. Mine. Sit with that for a second. The Father doesn't accept me because I finally cleaned myself up. He accepts me because when He looks at me, He sees His Son. That's the only reason I have the confidence to pray, to worship, to open His Word, to serve Him at all. Not because of who Robert Borelli is. Because of who Jesus is. BUT GOD. I don't think I'll ever get over this: the acceptance I spent my whole life chasing wasn't something I had to earn. It was already mine in Christ.

The prison was never the problem. The thick walls The prison was never the problem. The thick walls, the steel bars, the locked doors, the maximum-security cell—none of that could keep God out. The real prison was my heart. I had built walls long before I ever stepped inside a prison. Walls of pride. Anger. Fear. Shame. And somehow, God's love reached right through all of them. He met me in a cell on Rikers Island and began breaking the hardest thing about me, not my circumstances, but my heart. Looking back, I realize there wasn't a place I could run where His grace couldn't find me. Nothing was going to stand in His way. Not prison. Not my past. Not even me. BUT GOD. "Where can I go from Your Spirit? Where can I flee from Your presence?" - Psalm 139:7 If God's love could reach me behind maximum-security walls, it can reach you wherever you are today.

There are moments when I just sit and think about There are moments when I just sit and think about what Jesus has really done for me. Not just that He forgave me. That He actually cleansed me. When I look back at my past, it's almost impossible to grasp. I know the life I lived. I know the things I've done. I know the man I used to be. Yet God's Word says, "...the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin." — 1 John 1:7 That means I don't have to stand at a distance anymore. I can come into the presence of a holy God. I can open His Word. I can pray. I can worship. I can serve Him, not because I've cleaned myself up, but because Jesus has made me clean. I'll never get over that. The God of the universe welcomes me as His own. BUT GOD. The blood of Jesus didn't just cover my past. It made it possible for me to know, walk with, and serve the living God.

One of the moments I'll never forget happened on m One of the moments I'll never forget happened on my first Christmas Eve in prison. Chaplain Maynard and a group of volunteers came to celebrate with us. I figured they'd stay for 30 minutes, sing a few songs, and head home to their families. They didn't. They stayed for hours. They sang with us, prayed with us, laughed with us, and reminded a room full of forgotten men that we weren't forgotten by God. I couldn't understand it. Why would anyone spend Christmas Eve in a prison? Then it hit me. That's exactly what Jesus did. He stepped into our brokenness. He came for people who couldn't save themselves. He didn't avoid the outcasts, He came looking for them. I sat there with tears running down my face because, for the first time, I wasn't just hearing about God's love. I was experiencing it. "But God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." = Romans 5:8 BUT GOD. His love found me in a prison cell, and it has never let me go.

Why didn't God give up on me? I've wondered about Why didn't God give up on me? I've wondered about that. I gave Him every reason to. I ignored Him. I ran from Him. I chose my own way over and over again. Yet every time I should have been beyond His reach, His patience was still reaching for me. The older I get, the more I realize that God's patience isn't weakness. It's love. He's not quick to throw people away. He's slow to anger, giving us opportunity after opportunity to turn back to Him. "The Lord is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in steadfast love." - Psalm 103:8 When I read that verse, I see my life. If God had treated me the way I deserved, my story would have ended a long time ago. BUT GOD. His patience outlasted my rebellion. His mercy was greater than my failures. And that's why I can stand here today telling you that no one is too far gone. RobertBorelli.com #ButGodMovement #RobertBorelliStory #MyStoryMatters #ThrowbackThursday #FromMafiaToMinistry
