New Creature
I became a new creature when I was three years old. My parents shared the truth with me, that I was a sinner and that the payment for sin is death (Romans 3:23). But they shared that God the Father sent his Son Jesus to be born of a virgin, live a life as a human and that he let sinful men crucify him. He, the Spotless Lamb gave himself up to pay for my wrong-doing and God accepted his perfect sacrifice. The sin debt was paid for in full! He rose again and went to live in heaven and is now seated at the Father's right hand. My parents showed me from the Word that if I put my trust in the One who paid for my sins, that I would become a new creature! So on that day I was changed. Made right with God where once I was his enemy.
"What this means is that those who become Christians become new persons. They are not the same anymore, for the old life is gone. A new life has begun!" - 2 Corinthians 5:17
That happened a long time ago but just recently the Lord has been taking me back to some basic basic truths from the Word to help me see more clearly what my True Identity In Jesus Christ is. The main thing is that I am no longer what I once was! I have been made new. Who I really am is a child of God, made right through the work of His perfect Son.
I just had to share! :) |
