BEHOLD! YOU ARE A NEW CREATURE

2Corinthians 5:17 (GNB, TPT, LB, AMPC) Anyone…joined to Christ is a new being; the old is gone, the new has come.…anyone…enfolded into Christ…has become an entirely new creation. All that is related to the old order has vanished. Behold, everything is fresh and new.When someone becomes a Christian, he becomes a brand new person inside. He is not the same anymore. A new life has begun!…any person…in Christ..is..(a new creature altogether); the old [previous moral and spiritual condition] has passed away. Behold, the fresh and new has come!*

There is so much glory, power and blessings in our continuous remembrance and consciousness that in Christ, God has made us new creatures. You must never forget that you are a new creation. You must continue to remind yourself, rejoice and thank God for this amazing and wonderful thing that God has done for you. Do you know that you did not stop being a new creature after one month or one year of being born again? The new creation is not like the old or first type of creation that ages and gets old with time. The new creation remains new forever and all the time. In fact, the aging and corruption that takes place in the old creation came because of Adam’s sin in the Garden. But thank God that through Jesus, God has delivered you from that order of creation and brought you into a new and higher order and specie of creation.

God wants us to continually grow in our consciousness and understanding of the identity, characteristics, inheritance and capabilities of the new creation. As we do this, the glory, power and blessings in all these features of the new creation will begin to manifest in our lives and we will be more successful and victorious in our lives. Stop despising and downplaying the glory and power of the new creation. The fact that there was no physical change on your outside when you got born again does not mean you were not completely changed inside. Like two of our texts above state, you need to always behold or see that you are a new creation. Pray for God to open your eyes to the hope you have, His glorious inheritance in you and His mighty resurrection power at work in you, because you are a new creation, (Eph.1:18-20). As you renew your mind and accept the realities of the new creation, your life will be transformed, (Rom.12:2).

Prayer:
Dear Father, I rejoice and thank you for making me a completely new creature in Christ. Help me to continually see and walk in the fullness of my newness.
