New Creation

(2 Corinthians 5:17) therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old is gone, the new has come.

We have all done things in our life that we regret doing. Maybe it was a stolen car, or a relationship that went too far, or something nobody knows about but you. Whatever it is, it may haunt you in someway for a long time. Through guilt, or memories, or through a person who will never let you forget. Maybe you are worried that you will never live it down.

Well, there is hope. 2 Corinthians 5:17 says that if you are in Christ, then you are made brand new! the old you is gone and forgiven, and you are free to start fresh.
The Bible says in Psalm 103:12, As far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us.

The Lord will forget our past sins? Is it really so easy? It is easy, but there are steps to the process. In Romans 10:9 it says, "That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved."
That is the first step to being IN Christ Jesus. Then after that we can have a personal relationship with him, as long as we continue to keep the Lord in a high respect, and try hard to follow God's commandments. We all mess up! So when we fall, that's were God's forgiveness comes in. And the Bible verse 2 Corinthians 5:17. We are a new creation to God when we repent to the Lord. That is good news! So, keep on living for God and enjoy your freedom in Christ!

By, Whatsoever Things are True
(Philippians 4:8)
