All things are new

ALL THINGS ARE NEW

One day I woke up and realized that I was the same person as I went to bed. But not all of us who go to sleep wake up, not all who wake up are in good health or state of mind. But what about our situations, problems are they still the same?

Here is the bigger picture, when I repented God promised and fulfilled my recreation as a new creature, with All things renewed.

2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

My faith is what helps me to understand this is to start walking by faith and not by what I see. 2 Corinthians 5:7 (For we walk by faith, not by sight:)

When I became a new creature the laws of life or of man apply no more, only that of Christ in me. Galatians 6:15 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature.

The other problem is that i do not know how to renew old self to the new and the result is usually failure in leaving a new life. It is very easy to do what is wrong than good because I am used to my old life. Each day I wake up I see me and then when I turn to look there is my wife. Then when I try to look around there are my yesterday problems staring back at me. That is why some people drink beers to forget problems everyday. Instead I am supposed to wake up and see Christ and say good morning. Luke 5:37-39 And no man putteth new wine into old bottles; elsethe new wine will burst the bottles, and be spilled, and the bottles shall perish. (38) But new winemust be put into new bottles; and both are preserved. (39) No man also having drunk old wine straightway desireth new: for he saith, The old is better.

How do I get transformed?

I have to first acknowledge that I had a past life and now have a new life in Christ. I am born again. Matthew 13:52 Then said he unto them, Therefore every scribe (myself) which is instructed unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is a householder, which bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old.

Pauls words guides me to reed of the old life and its ways. 1 Corinthians 5:7 Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us:

I must learn to put off the old man by destroying deceitful lusts, renewed in the spiritual mind, and put on the new man that is full of righteousness and holiness. (Ephesians 4:24)

I must be renewed in knowledge by always reading the word of God. Colossians 3:10 And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:

Summary

What I am doing now is look for the new life which I received upon repentance. I can do this by growing in knowledge of God and of Christ. (2 pet 3:13, 18) Only Christ is able to renew all things. (Rev 21:5)

As soon as I look at my reflection in the mirror I see new me, but immediately I walk away then my old self comes alive, the reason I forget I am new is the same problems I experienced before I still experience today. But I realized that there was something important, my problems when I have Jesus are not he same when I do not have him. So I must renew my mind with his word and step into holiness and righteousness.
