Look! It has been made new!

“This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun! And all of this is a gift from God, who brought us back to himself through Christ. And God has given us this task of reconciling people to him. For God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, no longer counting people’s sins against them. And he gave us this wonderful message of reconciliation. So we are Christ’s ambassadors; God is making his appeal through us. We speak for Christ when we plead, “Come back to God!” For God made Christ, who never sinned, to be the offering for our sin, so that we could be made right with God through Christ.” 2 Corinthians‬ ‭5:17-21‬ ‭NLT

We become a new creation when we remain in Christ Jesus
     •we must be IN Christ
     •we must be in union with Christ

what is union with Christ?
     •Loving God with all you heart, soul, mind, and body
     •becoming a new sacrifice and creation for God

what is new creation?
     •Being made new in the attitude of your minds
     •being created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness
     •being made new in Christ

Saints must have a new mind set
     •Renewed spirit
     •“Jesus replied, “I assure you, no one can enter the Kingdom of God without
        being born of water and the Spirit.” John‬ ‭3:5‬ ‭NLT‬‬*
     •we are weak and waiver on our own and must depend on God
       wholeheartedly

we must be molded by God
     •must desire to become a renewed person
     •“And I will give you a new heart, and I will put a new spirit in you. I will take
        out your stony, stubborn heart and give you a tender, responsive
        heart.” ‭‭Ezekiel‬ ‭36:26‬ ‭NLT‬‬
     •life is different before and after meeting Jesus

As we become a new creation, we have been given instructions for reconciliation
     •“so also Christ was offered once for all time as a sacrifice to take away the
       sins of many people. He will come again, not to deal with our sins, but to
       bring salvation to all who are eagerly waiting for him.” Hebrews‬ ‭9:28‬ ‭NLT‬‬
     •spread the gospel and make disciples
     •“Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the
       name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach these new
      disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this:
       I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”” Matthew‬ ‭28:19-20‬ ‭NLT‬‬

     When you have found Jesus, your life has become a new creation, it is no longer as the past. Recognize and show the difference between before and after meeting Jesus. If you are a rich person, be like Zacchaeus willing to give away your possessions to others for the Lord. If you are a politician, truly be able to work for the people according to God's purpose. May love conquer all. Let us be a demonstration of love to guide those around us to God.
