A Fresh Look at Life

2 Corinthians 5:17 NKJV

17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.

“ In Christ we are a new creation”

since we are a New creation we are going to renew our minds and see our selves differently than we ever had before.

many of us talk about the things we ‘did in the world.’

have we ever been in a place where we can share our hopes and dreams for ourselves with others.

if all things have become new, we are going to have to allow things to be new.

Proverbs 23:7 NKJV

7 For as he thinks in his heart, so is he. “Eat and drink!” he says to you, But his heart is not with you.

what do you think about yourself that might be different today after salvation.

renewing our minds is part of the new life.

Romans 12:1–2 NKJV

1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. 2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

Renewing our life means doing new things

Ephesians 4:28 NKJV

28 Let him who stole steal no longer, but rather let him labor, working with his hands what is good, that he may have something to give him who has need.
