The Unseen Work Of God Within YouSample

You Are a New Creation

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.

You are not the person you once were. When you placed your trust in Christ as Savior, radical things happened. Eternal, cosmic, permanent things:

Christ invaded your life.

Your sins were swept away forever.

You became a child of God.

You became spiritually alive with God’s life.

You became a citizen of heaven, a citizen of the kingdom.

God the Spirit came to live in you.

You were given a new heart.

You now have the power to please God.

You were justified—made right with God.

You were adopted as God’s own child.

You were given the mind of Christ.

You moved from the kingdom of darkness to the kingdom of light.

Your name was permanently etched into the book of life.

Your deepest heart is now to please God.

All of this happened in you and to you. All of this, and much more.

This is who you are. This is your true identity. We must see ourselves the way God sees us, for this is the truth. This is who we are.

Do not listen to what Satan says about you. He is a liar, and he is out to devour you. Listen only to God’s voice. You are a new creation. You are a much-loved, blood-bought child of God. This is your true self—this is how God sees you. This is who you are.
