THE REALITIES OF A NEW LIFE IN CHRIST 1

The new creation is a new man created with God divine nature of righteousness and holiness. (2 Peter 1:4). The Christian has become the son of God: He is born again. Therefore, has been made righteous. each of us is a new creation in Christ, born with a superior spirit. 2 Corinthians 5:17 says, “…if any man be in Christ, he is a new creation.” God didn’t make a new creation that’s subject to Satan, poverty, sickness, disease and death; no! He made a new creation that’s victorious over the world; a new creation that’s in union with God, and is a joint-heir with Christ (1 Corinthians 6:17).

Whatever God has said about you in His Word is the reality; that’s the truth about you. For example, the Word says, “…Greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world” (1 John 4:4 NASB). That means you can’t be oppressed; you can’t be defeated or disadvantaged in life, because the greater One, with all His wisdom, power, and glory, lives in you. Another truth is in 1 John 3:2 that says, “Beloved, we are [even here and] now God’s children…” (AMPC). You’re a child of God right now; not next year or when you get to heaven; it’s a present-hour reality. You’re born of Him, and that makes you an associate of the God-kind.

Prayer:

Dear Father, I thank you, for my heart has embraced your words of life and truth. Thank you for granting me the revelation knowledge of the glorious truths you’ve spoken concerning me, and the wisdom to appropriate and walk in the reality of my blessings in Christ, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

2 Cor 5:21 “For our sake He made Christ [virtually] to be sin Who knew no sin, so that in and through Him we might become [endued with, viewed as being in, and examples of] the righteousness of God [what we ought to be, approved and acceptable and in right relationship with Him, by His goodness].”
