A New Creation In Christ!

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!  2 Corinthians 5:17

This is a wonderful promise to those of us who have done things in our past that we are not happy with.  The Word of God says in Romans 3:23, “for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.”  We are not alone.  We all have sinned. 

Further, I John 1:8-10 says, “If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us.  If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.  If we claim we have not sinned, we make him out to be a liar and his word is not in us.”  Since we all are born sinners, then there is no need to worry about what those around you say.  Concentrate on yourself.  Get your life right with Christ.  He will forgive you and purify you!  What a blessing we have – all we have to do is confess and ask!  Praise the Lord!  And on top of that, when we are in Christ, we become a new creation.  We are a new person.  Our past, our old disappears forever!  We are a new creation! Praise the Lord!

So when the devil wants to remind you of your past, remind him of your now and future!  Praise the Lord!

Dear God, we thank You for sending Your Son to die on the cross for our sins!  We thank You that we are a new creation in You!  We praise You God, that our past is our past!  Help us to concentrate on our now and our future!  Lead us in the way You would have us to go!  I pray Your blessings on each one of us!  Hold us close!  We love You so much!  In Jesus name, Amen!
