"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 (KJV)
Think, for a moment, about the "old" you, the person you were before you invited Christ to reign over your heart. Now, think about the "new" you, the person you have become since then. Is there a difference between the "old" you and the "new" and "improved" version? There should be! And that difference should be noticeable not only to you but also to others.
The Bible clearly teaches that when we welcome Christ into our hearts, we become new creations through Him. Our challenge, of course, is that we behave like new creations. When we do, God fills our hearts. He blesses our endeavors, and transforms our lives ... forever.
" No man is ever the same after God has laid His hand upon him" -- A.W. Tozer
Lord, when we accepted Jesus as our personal Savior, You changed us forever and made us whole. Let us share Your Son's message with our friends, with our family, and with the world. You are a God of love, redemption, conversion and salvation. We will praise You today and forever/ Amen.
