New Creation Image

According to apostle Paul, when we accept Jesus as our Savior, we are in Christ. We are new creations. All things become new in our lives.

2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.

The moment we accept Jesus as our Savior, the Holy Spirit joins us to Jesus Christ. We become one with Him for all eternity.

When we become “in Christ,” old things pass away. That means parts of us which existed before, no longer exist. Those parts spoken of as the “old things” die. At the same time, there is rebirth – a new spirit person is born.

A new believer is no longer the person he or she used to be. That person no longer exists. That person has passed away. All things have become new.

How surprising it would be if when we were showing off a new born baby, someone asked, “But what about this baby's past?” You would answer, “This baby has just been born. He has no past!” It is the same when the devil comes to remind us of our past failures and sins before we were born again. That part of our old life has passed away. It no longer exists! As new creations, we have no past for the devil to bring accusations against.

Paul wrote, “Old things have passed away! All things have become new!”
