Daily Devotional – Monday, September 23, 2024
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.
2 Corinthians 5:17 (NKJV)
Today’s key text is a lovely reminder of the transformational power of faith in Christ. It emphasizes that, “if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation.” We are made new when we come to Christ, not only corrected or enhanced. A new identity based on God’s grace and love replaces the old existence with all of its sins and obligations.
Old Things Have Passed Away
It takes more than just a behavioral shift to become a new creation. Instead, it is a total redefinition of our fundamental selves. Past transgressions do not characterize us. Rather, we welcome a new beginning that is brimming with promise and meaning. We are obligated to live a life that more fully embodies Jesus’ love and light.
Which outdated beliefs or routines must you do away with as you embrace fully your new identity? Spend some time in prayer, asking God to assist you in accepting who you are as a brand-new creation. Write down the changes you have gone through since accepting Christ as your Savior, and thank Him for all the ways He has changed you.
A New Creation
Give God thanks for making you a new creation in Christ. Seek His assistance in embracing your new self and letting go of your old one. Step into the hope and freedom that come from knowing you are a child of God. As you embody this new identity and demonstrate God’s love, let Him lead the way.
Prayer
Lord Jesus, I am grateful that You have made me a new creature. Make this truth to permeate my heart and guide my decisions.
