"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ
he is a new creation; the old has
gone, the new has come!
All this is from God, who reconciled
us to Himself through Christ and
gave us the ministry of reconciliation;
That God was reconciling the world to
Himself in Christ, not counting men's
sins against them. And He has
committed to us the message of reconciliation.
We are therefore Christ's ambassadors,
as though God were making His appeal
through us.
We implore you on Christ's behalf:
Be reconciled to God.
God made Him who had no sin to be sin
for us, so that in Him we might become
the righteousness of God."
2 Corinthians 5: 17-21
We are a new creation. There is now no condemnation for those who are in Jesus Christ. So let us throw away our old sinful self. It is already dead in sins. We are now gloriously alive in Christ's righteousness, love and joy.

Powerful post...it's amazing to know that we can be made new in Christ though we are not worthy at times.
Hi May,
Yes, it's truly amazing that we can become new creations in Christ because of God's great love for us although we are all most unworthy. Thanks for your visit and comments. God bless you always.
A great and wonderful post KuyaMel!
I agree , it's truly amazing. We commit mistakes, we learn, then we accept Christ here in our heart and we can become his new creation.
Thank you Kuya, God Bless:)
Hi Charmie,
It is deeper than that my friend. When we accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and savior and become born again, we become a new creation in Christ. That means that our old self is already crucified with Christ at the cross. Our spirit which was previously dead is now alive with power and strength from the Lord. Thanks for your visit and comments. God bless you always.
