New Creation
Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature
[creation]: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. —
2 CORINTHIANS 5:17
I’m glad I’m a new creature. I was only fifteen when I was
born again, but I remember exactly what happened. Something took place inside
of me. It seemed as if a two-ton load rolled off my chest. Not only did
something depart from me — but something came into me!
The moment you accepted Jesus Christ as your Savior and
confessed Him as your Lord (Romans 10:9,10), you, too, were recreated. At that
moment, the redemption which Jesus provided two thousand years ago became a
reality to you. At that instant, the very life and nature of God were imparted
to your spirit. You were recreated — born again!
The New Birth is not an experience. It is not a religion. It
is not joining a church. It is the re-birth of your spirit.
When you were born again, old things passed away. In the
sight of God, all sin and all of your past life were blotted out. All you had
been — spiritually speaking — was blotted out. It ceased to exist. And you
became a new man in Christ Jesus. God sees nothing in your life before the
moment you were born again!
All things inside you became new. Your spirit was recreated.
You passed from death unto life (1 John 3:14)!
Confession: I am a new creature in Christ. I am a new
creation. I am recreated. The life and nature of God are within me. I have
passed from death unto life! I am a new creature!
