Yesterday was a rainy, nasty day here at the beach. This morning I get up and it is a beautiful new day looking out over the Gulf. With that thought in mind read this verse:
2 Corinthians 5:17
17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.
I want you to take out the anyone in the verse above and put your name in there and then read it again. Are you a new creation in Christ? I think we all need to stop and really think about what this verse is saying. If we are truly in Christ we are new. That means we are different than before. That is what the rest of the verse confirms for us. The old things have passed away means our old sinful ways are now behind us. Can you say that this morning? I am not saying you will never sin anymore but what God is saying that our new life will strive to stay away from sin. God ends the verse by saying all things have become new...meaning in Christ we have a brand new life away from sin!
So are you new this morning...it is never to late to become new ask Jesus into your heart today!
Have a great day and tell someone about Jesus!
Tom
