New Year, New Creature

2Co 5:17  Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

          This ought to be the care of all who profess the Christian faith, that they be new creatures; not only that they have a new name, and wear a new livery, but that they have a new heart and new nature. And so great is the change the grace of God makes in the soul, that, as it follows, old things are passed away - old thoughts, old principles, and old practices, are passed away; and all these things must become new. Note, Regenerating grace creates a new world in the soul; all things are new. The renewed man acts from new principles, by new rules, with new ends, and in new company. The believer is created anew; his heart is not merely set right, but a new heart is given him. He is the workmanship of God, created in Christ Jesus unto good works. Though the same as a man, he is changed in his character and conduct. These words must and do mean more than an outward reformation. It is vain for a man to profess affinity to Christ according to the flesh, while he is unchanged in his heart and life, and dead in trespasses and sins; for he that is in Christ, that is, a genuine Christian, having Christ dwelling in his heart by faith, is a new creature; his old state is changed: he was a child of Satan, he is now a child of God; he was a slave of sin, and his works were death; he is now made free from sin, and has his fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life. He was before full of pride and wrath; he is now meek and humble. He formerly had his portion in this life, and lived for this world alone; he now hath God for his portion, and he looks not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are eternal. Therefore, old things are passed away.


          Are we going to be the same person in 2012 that we were in 2011? Are we going to continue using the same foul language? Are we going to continue in fornication, adultery and homosexual lifestyles? Are we going to continue to support those who twist and manipulate the word of God and deny the deity of Christ. Will we continue to support the entertainers that profess Christ, but support antichrist views and conduct in order to gain fame and fortune? How long will we continue to accept sin in the church and look the other way? When we are in Christ all things are become new - we have new life, new senses, new faculties, new affections, new appetites, new ideas and conceptions. Our whole tenor of action and conversation is new. Let us make 2012 a year of true change. Not on the outside, but more importantly on the inside.
