Therefore if any man is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come.

Questions

1. If you are in Christ, what are you now?

 

2. What happened to the old you?

 

Practical help

For those involved in design related fields and industries, their energies are either focused on creation or innovation. Creators seek to make something new that never existed before; innovators take what already exists and try to make it better.

In God’s relationship with us today, He’s not trying to make us better. Sound strange? Sin has so dramatically damaged the original design that He decided to start over. In fact, He totally discarded the old stuff! He didn’t save us to make us better — that’s innovation. He saved us to make us new in Christ — that’s creation.

If you are a believer in Jesus, then you have become a new creation. God did that and your life is now in Christ. Porn use doesn’t go along with the new you. Resist it today in full assurance of the truth of your new identity in Christ.
