Hi Everyone, Here I am again with yet another part of my study about "who we are in Christ". I think this is probably THE most important study I have ever done in my Christian walk and I hope it blesses all of you as much as it has me. I think it is so important for us, as Christians, to have a good understanding of who we are now that we are Christians and belong to God's holy family. He adopted us at a price, the death and resurection of His Son, Jesus. And his word says that once we accept His Son into our lives, we are "born again" and "become a new creature". A lot of Christians do not understand what this means, to be born again, or what kind of "new creature" they are supposd to be. The bible does tell us all about that and so much more! So I have done this study (with the help of a Christian counselor whom I used to see regularly) and it has been a great eye-opener for me and also a HUGE help to me when times get kind of tough (like they have been lately). I hope and pray that all of you here, my good friends and brothers (and sister too), will benefit from this as much as I have. And with that.... Who we are in Christ, part three: "We are a new creature..." "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature, old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new." 2 Cor. 5:17 "and you put on the new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness." Eph 4:24 "and have put on the new man who is renewed in knowledge according to the image of Him who created him" Col. 3:10 "For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepard beforehand that we should walk in them." Eph. 2:10 God already see's us as "new creatures" now that we are His children. This is what I get out of this. Anyone get anything else out of this? I would love to read any comments anyone might have. Your's in Christ's love, Chris |
