Memorise: Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. 2 Corinthians 5:17
BIBLE READING: 2 Corinthians 5:17
17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
Bible Reading In One Year: Isaiah 13-15; Galatians 6:1-18
MESSAGE:
I have heard people say being born again affects only your spirit. I disagree with this. When a man gives his life to Christ, all things become new. Before I gave my life to Christ, I used to have malaria at least once in a month. Any month I didn’t have malaria, l would celebrate with champagne and then wake up with headache the next day. After I gave my life to Christ, things changed to the extent that I didn’t take the tablet for over 28 years. When Moses died at age 120, his eyes were not dim and his physical strength didn’t wane, he could still climb mountains to speak to God.
Your health can change for better after giving your life to Christ. Your academics will get better when you become a new creature. God will give you a new brain that will assimilate easily and recall things (but you still have to study). So if you are yet to accept Jesus as your Lord and personal saviour, today is the day. Do that right away and study the word of God so that your mind can be transformed by God’s renewing word.
Key Point:
For a new creature in Christ, everything becomes new.
Hymn: What Can Wash Away My Stain
- What can wash away my stain?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
What can make me whole
again?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
Chorus:
Oh! Precious is the flow
That makes me white as snow!;
No other fount I know,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
- For my cleansing this I see?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus!
For my pardon this my plea?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus! - Nothing can for sin atone
Nothing but the blood of Jesus!
Naught of good that I have done
Nothing but the blood of Jesus! - This is all my hope and peace
Nothing but the blood of Jesus!
This is all my righteousness
Nothing but the blood of Jesus!
