Luke 5:38 

"And he spake also a parable unto them; No man putteth 

a piece of a new garment upon an old; if otherwise, then 

both the new maketh a tear and the piece that was 

taken out of the new agreeth not with the old."

        Jesus knew the Pharisees and the company of tax collectors and sinners would understand this parable. Because Christ would explain things in terms of what was around them and what they were knowledgeable about. The first verse of this parable actually teaches us what happens when we turned to Christ and we don't fully commit 100% to our new birth in Christ.
        My friends when you get saved you can not walk in true Righteousness by mixing a little of your new nature with your old nature. If one only puts forth a small portion of their new nature with their old nature, the old will over take the new. Why? Because it will not agree with the old nature, and the new nature separates itself from the old and the old becomes dominant once again.
        When we give our hearts to Christ it must be 100%. The problem with today's thought process is this: "It is trying to take our Lord out of everything it can, and replace it with the old." That being Man's Law's and Not God's!! My friends one can not be, one quarter in, half way in, but 100% A Believer and Stand Firm! 
        Amen!!
