A NEW CREATURE

“For it was fitting for Him, for whom we are all things and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons to glory, to make the author of their salvation perfect through suffering ” Hebrew 2:10.

LIGHT FOR THE NOW: Every born again child of God is Christ in the flesh living here on earth.

Jesus was not born but he was re-created. At new birth, a born again child of God is not repaired but he is re-born anew. Being born again has nothing to do with a change of character or being but has everything to do with a change of nature. At new birth, a child of God receives the nature of Christ. A born again Christian is not a product of blood, flesh nor the will of man but of God (John 1:13) and whatever is born of God is God. Therefore, a new creature is Christ in the flesh living here on earth. The incarnate Jesus was the only begotten son of God. But when Christ resurrected from the dead, he became the first begotten of the Father. This means that every born again Christian by adoption becomes a son of God. When you receive Jesus, you become regenerated.

The greatest creation of God is the creation of God in a man. Of all that God created, a new creation is the greatest. The devil cannot handle seeing God in a man. He cannot comprehend it. This is why the devil remains defeated because a new creation is a mystery to him. The Bible speaking in Galatians 3:27 (NLT) says, ‘And all who have been united with Christ in baptism have put on the character of Christ, like putting on new clothes’.  A new creation is not traceable to Adam but he is traceable to Christ. A new man in Christ is better and higher than Adam in his perfect state. A new creature is a partaker of the divine nature of God (2Peter 1:4).  A new creature is Christ living here on earth. Ephesians 5:30 says, ‘For we are members of his body, of his flesh and of his bones        He is a co-creator. A new creation has what it takes to bring what has never been into existence. There is no impossibility in the life of a new creature. No matter where you leave a new creature, he will always create something out of nothing. A new creature is not permitted to be stranded in life.

INSTRUCTION: Walk in the newness of life.

PRAYER: Lord, I thank you for my new position in Christ Jesus, in Jesus Name.

QUOTE: A new creature cannot be stranded in life.
