Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here! Corinthians 5:17
The reference to ‘new’ in this scripture has many facets. First, the old covenant of law has been replaced by a new life giving covenant of love. Second, while Jesus was human we were connected to things of this earth, but through the death and resurrection we have a new life eternal. Lastly, we are made new through Christ’s blood. When Jesus rids you of your sin, the only thing left from the past is the skin you’re in!!! You are new…. not remodeled, not repurposed, not re-anything!!! You are new!
New is completely irrelevant if you cannot put the old away. The two cannot exist together. Choose a new life in Christ!
