“Therefore, if any man be in Christ, he is a new creation; old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new” (II Corinthians 5:17).

New (Def.): (Gr.): Kainos from Nehos: Fresh, especially in age, regenerated, youthful, young

There is an amazing change that occurs in those who are in Christ Jesus, all things are become new. Everything has become fresh, regenerated, renewed continually. Everything is now in Life. Everything is now in freedom, everything is independent. There is only One, the Son of God, “by whom all things consist” (Colossians 1:17). There is only One who controls all things in Himself, His Spirit. “Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty” (II Corinthians 3:17) This is so liberating to our entire being. Our thoughts, emotions, feelings, our will, intentions and purpose for living all consist in Him and His Life in God in us.

The Apostle understood this. He said, “For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain” (Philippians 1:21). To live is Christ, to die is to gain Christ. In this realm there is freedom from fear, anxiety, oppression, restraint, denial, rejection. There is only love, acceptance, release, reception, opportunity and blessing.

Jesus said He came to make us free and to give us abundant life (cf. John 8:36; John 10:10). This is what we have in Him, indeed, all things have become new.

The Apostle wrote to the Romans:

“Therefore, we are buried with Christ by baptism into death; that like as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life” (Romans 6:4).

In the “newness of life” our thoughts change, our attitudes change, our will changes and is conformed to the image of the Son (cf. Romans 8:29). We experience a great refreshing and renewal. We come alive in the Spirit and are separated from our former self which had its abiding in death. We have come out of death and into life, out of darkness, into the light, out of the shadows, into the brilliance of sunshine. Oh, glorious newness is here!

Do the actions of others affect your temperament? Do the reactions of others play with your emotions? Do the responses, or non-responses create undue tension in your soul? Freedom awaits you. Liberty is here. Your change has come. Come away from the old and into the new. Move away from the soul and into the spirit. Come into the New Creation, the Realm of the Spirit, the Government of God for our Being wherein dwells peace like a river flowing from the Throne of God

“He showed me a pure river of water of Life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the Throne of God, and of the Lamb” (Revelation 22:1).

This is the blessing from the Lamb. This is His free gift for you to have and in which to live. Receive it today. Open your heart and let it come in. You are your Beloveds and He is Thine. His Banner over us is Love” (cf. Song of Songs 2:4; 6:3).

All Things Are Become New can be yours as you experience the Life of God in Christ. You can come into the Life of the Son where you too can love all, honor all and serve all in total freedom in Christ as His Life, Nature and Spirit become fully expressed through you as you abide fully in Him.

The New Creation is here. Let Him reign.
