A New Creation
2 Corinthians 5:17
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old is gone, the new has come!
This scripture has been very meaningful to me in my own Christian walk. So often we beat ourselves up for past mistakes and we burden our hearts with undo pain and suffering. The Apostle Paul tells us in 2 Corinthians 5:17 that if we give ourselves (by being born again) to Christ; the past has been wiped away, forgotten, never to be remembered again! We are brand spanking new! Praise the Lord! We are a new creation! The old self along with our sinful desires are gone, the brand new you has come!
Father, thank you so much for not giving up on me, even when I gave up on myself. Thank you for the miracle of a new birth through your son!
