2 Corinthians 5:17(KJV)
17Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
All things are become new Stuck out in this passage of scripture and prompted me to see what is "NEW". The following is a look at some things that are new in a new life given to the Lord.
1. One becomes a new creature indeed. Washed in the blood of the Lamb and born of His Spirit.
2. You are under a new covenant - paid for by the body and blood of Jesus Christ in redemption - you have gone from ritual to reality. Hebrews 9:15
3.You are able to approach God in a new and living way. Hebrews 10:20
4. You have a new access to God yourself. You can draw near to God.
5. You have a new way to worship God - in spirit and in truth. John 4:24
6. You have a new heart - one of love and compassion. Romans 5:5
7. You can have a new mind as you submitt to God. Romans 12:1-2
8. You have a new and clear conscience. Hebrews 9:14
9. You can have a new song. Ephesians 5:18-20
10. You have a new ministry - one of reconcilliation 2Cor.5:18
11. You have a new light as Jesus Christ dwells within you. John 1:4
12. You have a new commandment - Love one another. John 13:34-35
13. You have new life. Romans 6:4 and need to walk in it.
14. You have newness of spirit. Romans 7:6
15. You have a new name. Revelation 2:17
16. You have a new destination. John 14:1-3
These are a few of things that are "new" if any man be in Christ. I hope this is a blessing and encouragement to all who read this.
Blessings to you.
