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.

The Endurance Test

Finding Strength in Trials Ps. TE Khorombi Life throws curveballs. Sometimes, those curveballs feel less like gentle nudges and more like a direct hit. But what if I told you that even in the midst of these challenges, there's a hidden strength waiting to be discovered? The verse from James 1:3 (NASB): "The testing of your faith produces endurance." This isn't a feel-good statement; it's a profound truth about the human spirit and our relationship with faith. This verse doesn't shy away from the reality of hardship. It acknowledges that faith will be tested. Think about the times you've faced difficulties: job loss, relationship struggles, health concerns, or simply the daily pressure of life's demands. These are the "testings" James speaks of. But here's the crucial point: these tests aren't designed to break us. Rather, they're opportunities for growth. The process of navigating these trials, of leaning on our faith d...

The Gift of Reverence

  How Fearing the Lord Leads Us Closer to Him Psalm 95:7: "The fear of the Lord leads to reverence and obedience. Let's heed His voice and follow His ways." The concept of fearing God can be easily misunderstood. In this context, to fear God is not to be afraid of Him, but to have a deep respect and awe for His power, majesty, and holiness. It is a recognition of His infinite wisdom and love, and our complete dependence on Him. Proverbs 1:7 says: "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction." Having reverence for God grounds us in humility and reminds us to seek His wisdom in all things. Through this reverence, we cultivate obedience. When we truly understand and respect God's power and love, we naturally want to follow His commandments. Deuteronomy 10:12-13 instructs us: "“What does the Lord your God require of you? He requires only that you fear the Lord your God, always walking in obedience to him, lo...

Salvation by Grace

  Understanding Salvation by Grac e When considering the profound concept of salvation , one cannot overlook the crucial role of grace . Grace is the unmerited favor and love of God extended to humanity. It is through grace that salvation becomes accessible to all, regardless of individual merit or works. A pivotal scripture that encapsulates this truth is found in Ephesians 2:8 : "For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God ." The Scriptural Basis for Salvation by Grace Grace Through Faith Ephesians 2:8 emphasizes that salvation is a gift from God, not something earned through human effort. This verse highlights the divine generosity and unconditional love that God extends to us, offering salvation freely to those who believe. Purpose and Grace in Christ "He has saved us and called us to a holy life—not because of anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace. This grace was given us in Christ Jes...
