2 Cor 5:1717 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.(KJV)
We become a new creature in Jesus at our conversion. We are to transform our minds by His Word. It is not "if" or "when" I become a new creation, but I am, by fact, new in Jesus. I don't talk the way I use to talk, I don't do the things I use to do, I don't live the way I use to live. Not because of "rules," but because of a genuine heart change. I don't desire those things any longer. I have been made new and whole, and have no desire to go back to the weak a beggarly elements that had me in bondage! Since I have been made free from the power of Sin by the power of God, why would I desire to return to the vomit, or wallowing in the mire? I want to walk in the new liberty that Jesus has given me, to show the whole world Jesus is alive and is alive in me! I want to manifest the living God in my mortal body. I want to grow up into Him by the knowledge of God. I want to manifest the invisible God in the land of the living. Be blessed.
