God’s word, the Bible says, “If anyone is in Christ, he is a
new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!” (2 Corinthians 5:17)
When we received Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour, God
forgive our sin and makes us ‘new creation’. We have new life, not in our
strength but given by God. I invited Jesus and He saved my health and life and changed me. Many persons praise
me, but I always say, “Jesus saved me”. I did nothing to change my life. I confined
at home for some weeks. But, I have to work and earn. So, I went out and found the
change in me. When I met old friends they say “you become so changed” and they
treated me in a changed manner, though I did not tell them any. I saw with my
eyes what I used to take much interest, my heart no more saw, my hands no
longer stretched out to reach. I found out the changes in me. Old friends left
and new friends come. Within a few months, I totally believed my Lord and
Saviour is working in me and fear vanish. Jesus changed my environment and is
changing me. I believe He will continue to change me and will one day totally
transformed me to be with Him eternally. To understand what I say, please read Ephesians 2:1-10:
“As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins, in which you used to live when you followed the ways of
this world and of the ruler(Satan) of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work
in those who are disobedient. All of us also lived
among them at one time, gratifying the cravings of our flesh and following its desires and
thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature deserving of wrath(of God). But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions —it is by grace you have been
saved. And God
raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable
riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus. For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith —and this is not from
yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good
works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” (Ephesians 2:1-10)
In old nature we could not understand the things of the
spirit as it was spiritually dead, “dead in our transgressions and
sins”. God gives us a completely new nature
when we received His Son Jesus Christ as our personal Lord and Saviour. Our old
nature was dead and raised with Jesus and gives us this new life. Then, God
gives us the Holy Spirit, who lives in us and helps us “to walk in newness of
life” with Christ(Romans 6:4).
Praise the Lord.
Remember, our old nature still is working in us but could no
longer control us as Jesus always help us. (I will post about this later)
Hope you have become a truly ‘new creation’ in Christ, by
having invite Him into your life and received Him. Read the Bible daily and
always pray so that you may grow in faith. Also pray for those who are still in
old sinful life. Tell them about Jesus and His saving grace. Bring them to
Christ. But if you still have not yet received, please call on Jesus Christ
now. If you need guidance, send me message.
May God bless you.
