We were made new creations in Christ. Therefore, we should be living in a way that is no way connected or reflective with our selves before Christ.
When Saul came to the Lord, he was completely made over. He even got a new name - Paul. And this man went from a person who was personally hunting down Christians to have them killed, to a man who risked his own life to preach and minister the gospel to the Gentiles. He went from labeling Christianity as blasphemy to declaring the sovereignty of Christ before councils and kings.
Jesus made Paul brand new.
What about you was made new when you met the Savior? What changed?
Today, think about your journey with Christ. Reflect on the newness He brought into your life. Remember the old you? Give God praise that that person no longer exists and you have a new life because of Jesus! Walk in your new life today. Go out and purposefully see things from a new perspective.
As you walk as a new creation in Christ, don't allow the '"old" you to spring up and participate. That "old" you has passed away. You are now a new creature: blessed, righteous, loving, and following the will of God. Don't fall back into your old ways - remember: you are new!
Verse of the Day: Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. 2 Corinthians 5:17
