Stardate-120111-6 A New Creation

My super Awesome Omnipotent/Omnipresent father has been speaking to me lately the verse 2nd Corinthians 5:17. For those of you at home that's.. v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.

Sooooooooooooooooooooooooo.......what does that mean to you?

What do you believe happens when you get saved? 

You could just say that when you get saved this man named Jesus(BIG DEAL,btw) writes your name in a book of life or something annnnnnnnnnd now you get to go to heaven or whatever......and you can't curse now or something like that....

Well the truth is that GOD so LOVED YOU that he sent his Son to die for YOU.<----DEEP
 The Holy bible says...
He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed.-1 peter 2:24

 He was crucified on the cross to take on YOUR sins , but  he didn't stay dead HE ROSE AGAIN!! (woopwoop!!!)conquering sin and death, allowing us to no longer be bound to our old sinful nature.but then he did a little sumfin extra.he ascended into heaven so that the HOLY SPIRIT(also a big deal) may be sent.

So what am I saying you might ask...

What I'm saying is that not only did he give us the ability to be victorious over sin, but He gave us his spirit to have the POWER to KICK IT IN THE MOUTH.....We are not the same after being saved WE ARE NEW CREATIONS! We have been re-born, Our old selves are now dead(x_x) and now we are alive in Christ!

old ways of thinking...GONE

old sinful habits...Dead

Something that I found interesting is that my church THE MISSION DELRAY is having a baptism this Sunday...perhaps the lord is trying to communicate something here(hmmmm rubs chin)... you see, Baptism and getting saved go hand in hand. Getting saved kills the old self, and Baptism BURIES the old self. There is about to be a bunch of people this Sunday that are literally going to step into NEW LIFE, and when that happens they will be no longer bound to that old man,Completely free from what once was.

Have you ever done something that you know was wrong,but you blamed it on the fact that thats just who you are...That's a lie from the Devil, The Devil has as much power as you give him....nothing more...You were set free...YOU ARE A NEW CREATION!
