New You Not Just on New Year's - Daily Devotion

Tell me if this verse from 2 corinthians 5:17 sounds familiar. 

 

17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come:[a] The old has gone, the new is here!

 

I'm sure you've heard that one many times but let me ask you something. Do you really believe what it says? The Apostle Paul is basically saying if we know jesus, we are new creations. Not a new creation yesterday, or last week or last year.

 

He is saying we are new creations now. so in a sense, every second, minute, day, week, etc. is a clean slate for you and me. Now, that doesn't mean we shouldn't set goals, but it does mean that through Christ Jesus, our ultimate goal of redemption has already been met. Why are we a new creation? Because Christ died on the cross for us, and when the father in heaven looks at us, he doesn't see how badly we messed things up. He sees a son or a daughter covered by the precious sacrifice of his one and only son. whenever that big lie tells you that you don't have a clean slate, and you're always gonna be the same old you, remember, through Christ Jesus, God the father and the Holy Spirit you always have a clean slate.
