Created to be New
Therefore, is anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation, the old has gone, the new has come! 2 Corinthians 5:17 NIV
Do you feel like a new creation today? Sometimes we don�t. Circumstances of life sometimes try to cloud our view so that we won�t recognize the awesomeness of being a new creation. Yet, God�s Word is true! If you are in Christ, then Christ is in you, and Christ cannot reside in your heart unless a change has been made! When Christ enters a repentive heart, He performs heart surgery, making your heart like Him!
Pause for just a minute and reflect on the ramifications of being a new creation. Your sin no longer condemns you, because Jesus bore the penalty upon the Cross. Your eternity is no longer in question, because your name is written with permanent ink in the Lambs Book of Life. You are no longer left to face life on your own, because Christ has came to live His life through you. You no longer have to live in defeat, because Jesus has already overcome the world!
Are you living like a new creation today, or are you still walking around like the old you? Have you got a smile on your face because your future is secure? Are you enjoying the peace of God that surpasses understanding, since you have been justified by the blood of Jesus and made right with God? Do you look at life from Heaven�s perspective, because, in position, you citizenship is not of this world? Are you anticipating the soon and coming reign of our Savior, the King of kings and Lord of lords?
I truly believe that when you and I fail to live as the new creations we are, it is because we are not following the plan of God for our lives. God�s desire and design for us is victory. Not that everything will always be perfect. Many times it will not be, but we can still live in victory, because from Heaven�s perspective, everything is going to be okay. May we live with that understanding today!
