New Creation

John 3:16, “God so loved the world, that He gave his only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.”

I was thinking about how beautiful it is that every sin can be forgiven. That we are not only are forgiven, not recycled sinners, we are new creations in Christ Jesus. I mean, God didn’t just clean us up a little bit and then push us on out the door. You are not an accident looking for a place to happen. You are a new creation in Christ Jesus. You may have had many issues in the past but the old things have passed away and behold all things are becoming new.

So where do I stand as a believer? I’m not all that I want to be but I’m not what I used to be and I am on my way to being everything Jesus died for me to be. That’s what it is all about. Every sin forgiven and the chance for a new beginning. I’m a new creation in Christ Jesus. I’m justified – just as though I had never sinned.

Jesus made a way so that none should perish. It is a beautiful transformation we experience as we walk in daily relationship Him. From lost and broken sinner to beautiful new creation. All because God so loved the world.
