Be a new creation

2 Corinthians 5: 17

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.

For the person who is in Christ, there is a brand new identity.

They are a new creation, because they have been born from above.

The old things have passed away, and the things in a person’s life are brand new.

Are you identified with new things? Is that what people would say about you?

Or are there things, that still identify you with the old? Your old life—old habits—old ways of thinking—old ways of acting.

A person in Christ, has been created to operate in the realm of the new.

It’s because they take their marching orders from a totally different Kingdom.

This Kingdom is Holy—perfect—stable—new—lovely……

So does this verse mean, that if we’re still holding on to the old life, that we might not be in Christ?

Sure seems to indicate that.

The old has to pass away. The old has to die.

Their can’t be a newly created being born, unless the old one dies and passes away……….
