[dropcap2 variation=”coffee”]N[/dropcap2]ew creations. That’s what the New Testament calls you, if you are in Christ. You are not an improved version of the old. You are something completely new.
How is this possible?
You were spiritually dead. Jesus came to make you alive. He willingly, lovingly gave His life for you so He could give His life to you. His life. He took away your old man and replaced it with a new man – a new spirit.
This new spirit, this new heart, is the essence of who you are. Your identity has changed. You are new. When you begin to accept and believe this, you begin thinking differently. This leads to changed behavior – a different life.
You are not what you do. Your identity is based on Christ, not your past.
Rejoice!
I know what some of you are already thinking. If this is true, why do I struggle so much? There is a reason. Tune in next time to find out.
