“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.”

Reflection

To be in Christ is to step out of the shadows of a decaying world and into the light of a new creation. This is not a matter of changing your mind or following a new set of rules; it is an actual transformation of your being. By His death and resurrection, Jesus broke the power of death and began the restoration of the whole human race. When we draw near to Him, the heavy weight of our past and the damage we have done to ourselves begin to dissolve. He does not simply patch up our old lives; He breathes his own life into us, healing our brokenness and uniting us to the life of God Himself. Everything old is washed away in the flood of His mercy. Turn your heart toward Him today and let His life begin to make you new.
