I am a new Creature.
Do we know every good thing which is in you in Christ
Jesus?
Apostle Paul prayed in Philemon 1:4-6 I thank my God, making mention of thee always in my prayers,5 Hearing of thy love and faith, which thou hast toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all saints; 6 That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus.
We see that in knowing every good thing which is in Christ Jesus we can
understand who Christ is and what He has done for us.
We understand what we have in Christ and knowing our identity in Him
In Christ, through Christ, by Christ shows that we are not independent of Christ.
The good thing which we have is in Christ and not our own Works
We all used the word born-again after receiving Christ.
Do you understand what it means to be born again?
In John 3:3-6, Jesus used the word born again and Nicodemus replied and said “how can a man be born when he is old.
Jesus was not referring to us for us to bear ourselves
Being born again is not a character, as we think.
Jesus was referring to a state, being born of God.
This means there is nothing we can do to obtain salvation.
Being born again is not part of your own doing, it is Christ Work.
Born again is the new creature, being born of the
Spirit, having the Spirit of God in you.
It is a new beginning from above, you don’t have any past anymore.
In 2 cor. 5:15-17, Paul makes it clear that we don’t longer live unto ourselves but unto Jesus Christ. We knew Him Christ after his flesh, which was before this death.
Now we do not know him anymore after his flesh.
For He has come to dwell in us, we are born of him, and we know him now after his Spirit.
In him all things have become new.
The believer is a new creature that doesn’t have a past, we are born of the Spirit.
1 Peter 2:23 put it this way Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever
The word Seed here is the new seed within us, which is the Spirit of Christ of which we are born of. You have received a new seed of Christ. You are already better in Christ.
Change means you want to change something, but we are already new person in Christ.
You have to see yourself as a new person in Christ, having the new nature of God.
The new creature life comes from the Son
1 John 5:11-12: And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.
In Ephesians 4:20-24 But ye have not so learned Christ;
If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus:
That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;
And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;
And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.
Paul is describing the truth of who we are in Christ.
Putting off the old corrupt man and putting on the new man.
Our Change is our new nature, which is accomplished in God
Paul wrote this in 1. Cor. 6:11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye
are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.
Let`s confess our reality in Christ together
I am born of God
I am born of an incorruptible seed
I am washed
I am sanctified
I am justified
I am born of the Spirit of God
I do not have a past
For, I am that new Man in Christ
I am a new creature in Christ Jesus
