“….if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold the new has come.” 2 Cor 5:17
Looking out my glass deck door, I can see the sunlight dancing on my orange floribunda roses, some blooming and buds getting ready to burst into blooms.
What a beautiful scene!
It floods you with a feeling of newness, along with the sweet fresh fragrance of the rose.
This newness made me forget what I was doing and led me into this realm of sweet-smelling fragrance.
Okay, friend,
Life is not a bed of roses for a Christian! I get that 🙂
However, as I read through 2 Corinthians 5:7,
“Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold the new has come.”
I can understand that if I completely, wholeheartedly put my faith in Jesus Christ and make Him the Lord of my life,
I will become a new creation, meaning I am reborn spiritually and renewed by the Holy Spirit.
My old moral and spiritual nature has been removed,
and my new life in Christ Jesus has begun.
My new life will include a better attitude towards others
and new lifestyle change which is more Christ-like.
