You Are New
“In God’s eyes, you are a brand new creation. Therefore if anyone is in Christ [that is, grafted in, joined to Him by faith in Him as Savior], he is a new creature [reborn and renewed by the Holy Spirit]; the old things [the previous moral and spiritual condition] have passed away. Behold, new things have come [because spiritual awakening brings a new life].”
[2 Corinthians 5:17 Amplified Bible]
Sin is no longer your master, for you died to sin and are now alive in God (Romans 6:11; Ephesians 2:4–5). You are finally free from the slavery of sin and death. There is now no condemnation for you (Romans 8:1–2). All your sins are forgiven (1 John 1:9). All your unrighteousness has been cleansed by the blood of Jesus (1 John 1:7, 9). You are now righteous in my sight with the very righteousness of my perfect Son (Romans 4:5). You’ve been saved by grace (Ephesians 2:8). You’ve been justified by faith (Romans 5:1). You are utterly secure in the Lord; nothing will be able to separate you from His love in Christ Jesus (Romans 8:39). No one is able to snatch you out of God’s hand (John 10:29). And He will never leave you nor forsake you (Hebrews 13:5).
Until next time, walk with the King & be a blessing.
In His Name & for His Glory,
