Jesus is the ruler of my new life

"I used to think I had to obey all the rules. I used to think that was the way to be right with God. But I could never obey all the rules. I could never be right with God that way. God was not happy with me. My old self tried to obey the rules. My old self said that was the way to be right with God. I tried very hard. But I did not make God happy. God showed me that way does not work. So I asked Jesus to forgive my sins. I asked Jesus to make me right with God. My old self died. It is not the ruler of my life anymore. Jesus gave me a new life. Jesus is the ruler of my new life" (Galatians 2:19, The B-I-B-L-E).
