The New Man



God made us New creation in Christ.  We are going to see how God created us when we born again.

II Cor 5:17 says Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
  • We are in Christ joined to him by Faith in him as Savior.
  • Old things (Previous moral and Spiritual condition) have passed away.
  • Behold, new things have come (because Spiritual awakening brings a new life).
As a New Creature, we have New Spirit and New heart. Foundationally you are already in Christ. 

This New man is incorruptible - Born after Incorruptible seed

I Peter 1:23  says Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.

We are born by the word of God which liveth and abideth for ever. 
As Jesus said, Heaven and Earth will pass away, but these words will never pass away. Let this truth get deep inside of us.

In Ephesians 1:13, Paul says when we heard the word of truth and repented, there is great joy in Heaven. Trinity is involved in our new birth. Father enforces his word, we believe in Jesus' Finished work and we are sealed with Holy Spirit.

Ephesians 1:13 says In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise.

This brings great joy in Heaven. Jesus is the Firstborn among many brethren. We become the same kind as Jesus is. He enjoyed wonderful fellowship with the Father in his earthly walk, in the same way we have the privilege now to enjoy this Father relationship.

Practice/Behavior comes after position. Our mind comes in the way most of the times. We don't need to judge our-self/others based on actions. Mind needs to be renewed/transformed according to the word.

When you acknowledge who you are, you act in the way, you can do who you are! You are already more than conquerors!

Enemy comes with compromising your identity. Stand Strong in your identity!
You have the authority now to dismiss the trouble, Words from your mouth is the weapon!
