"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come."
2 Corinthians 5:17
We read in verse 21 "For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God."
Isnt that amazing ! Basically He bore all our sins (Jesus who was sinless bore our sins) and now we stand we free ... And not only that... He has clothed us with His righteousness !!
He did not just take away our sins but He has clothed us , He has covered us... He has infused within us His righteousness. We do not stand as orphans.. but we stand today alive and free as sons and daughters of the Most High.
And if you believe in Jesus , if you truly understand the finished works of the cross then know that this is our reality : We are a new creation ! The old has passed away !
If that is indeed our reality then do remember this ... when circumstances come up which remind you of the old, be quick to trample the flesh and remember you now walk by the Spirit ! When you feel things of the flesh creeping up , put to death the ways of the flesh ! We live by the Spirit now !
Live as citizens of heaven knowing who you are and above all who your Father is and rejoice and share this love with those around !
Sin has no part in our lives. We walk in freedom in Christ !
God Bless
