The devotional on Jerry Savelle's website for today is another excellent reminder!
YOU ARE A NEW CREATION
Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation: old
things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. (2
Corinthians 5:17 NKJV)
God’s Word is clear: once you come to Jesus, once you make
Him Lord of your life, you become a new creation. The literal translation of
this scripture says you are “a new species of being that never existed before.”
You may not feel like a new creation, but don’t be moved by
what you feel. God’s Word says the old has passed away and you have already
been made a new creation—regardless of how you feel or how you act.
The moment you were born again, your old self—with its
sinful nature—died and a new person with the life and nature of God was
created.
Physically, you looked the same because your body is only a
house for the real you, your spirit. But on the inside, you changed completely.
You became a righteous creation with the nature of God.
On February 11, 1969, at 3 o’clock in the morning, the old
Jerry Savelle died when I met Jesus and a new Jerry Savelle came into
existence. I am not the same man I once was.
You may say, “But, Brother Jerry, I don’t feel like
I’m a new creation.” You may not feel like it, you may not act like it, but the
fact is, you are a new creation—because God’s Word says its true.
Confession: Thank You, Father, for making me a new
creation in Christ. Because I have the life and nature of God within me, I
refuse to be moved by what I see or what I feel. I walk by faith in what your
Word says about me. I am a new creation!
AMEN! NEVER forget who you are - IN HIM! JESUS paid the ultimate price for us to become HIS! Now let's remember always who HE made us to be and get out there and proclaim it! PROCLAIM HIM! HALLELUJAH! Here is Hillsong Kids with "Who You Say I Am":
Shalom in Him!
