Therefore if any person is [ingrafted] in Christ (the Messiah) he is a new creation (a new creature altogether); the old [previous moral and spiritual condition] has passed away. Behold, the fresh and new has come!
Dear Ones: A New Creation! Anyone who is in Christ has become a new creation: a new order of being. The life spark of Resurrection Life has been implanted in everyone who receives Jesus, our King, as their Lord. This is a supernatural experience that no other religion offers.
As new creations, believers are empowered to do the greater things we discussed yesterday. Our Father has given us the Holy Spirit so that we can do the mighty works that our Lord did. This is not just “religious speak” but the truth of what takes place when a person is born-again.
If you are a Christian, then you are a citizen of Heaven and God is your Father. Do not allow the stresses and challenges of these dark times to erase this truth from your heart. You have been grafted into the Vine as a spiritual branch. His life force is available to you to draw on continually. But you must use your free will to do so. Choose to side with the Word whenever the forces of darkness come to plant depression, fear, and anxiety in your mind.
May you be continually aware of being a new creation in Christ. When the enemy comes, side with the truth of the Word and resist those negative thoughts of defeat and fear. Rise up as an overcomer because He Who lives in you has already defeated the enemy for you. I bless you in Jesus’ name.
