THE CONTENT OF A NEW CREATION

          

“Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God which liveth and abideth forever” 1Peter 1:23.

LIGHT FOR THE NOW: A new creation is the product of the Word and not gold or silver.


A new creation is made of the Word and redeemed by the precious blood of Jesus. Peter speaking in 1Peter 1:18-25 says, “For as much as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot…Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the Word of God which liveth and abideth forever”. A new creation is not a product of sperm, blood or the will of man, but of God (John 1:13-14). It is that same Word that became flesh and dwelt among men. Jesus Christ is that Word. Christ is a product of the spoken word (Genesis 1:3; John 1:1).  There is no difference between a new creation and Christ. Both are products of the Word. The power that brought about resurrection is the same power that brought about new birth. A new creation is a product of the Word of God. A new creation is not a continuation of Adam. He is not a sinner saved by grace. He is forever saved. The problem of Christianity is not sin but sin consciousness.


The price of sin was paid in full. Sin was dealt with by the birth, suffering, death, burial and resurrection of Christ. Christ paid the ultimate sacrifice of death for our sins. It is your belief in the finished work of Christ that distinguishes you from the unbelievers. 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. 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). He is a co-creator. A new creation has what it takes to bring what has never been into existence. The Word of God is the raw material that produces a new creature. The realm of a new creature is the realm of the Word.
