2 Corinthians 5:17 tells us that “anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun! (NLT)” Your thinking, yeah right, this is Christianity 101. I can still remember hearing that verse when I first became a Christian, but as I matured in the faith it’s easy to forget that all of the power of the God head now lives inside each of us!
Ephesians 1:3 reminds me that,“God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ.” Because of the sacrifice Jesus made we have hope, love, freedom, forgiveness, and power! Just doing a quick scan through the Bible, we can see that IN CHRIST we are joint heirs, a new creature, blessed, living stones, delivered, transformed, the bride of Christ, sons of God, children of light, over-comers, adopted, disciples, kings and priests, saved, and friends of God!
Always remember the words of Henry Drummond, “Will-power does not change men. Time does not change men. Christ does.” Ready for a change?
