Day 92 – A New Creation in Christ – 2 Corinthians 4:1-6:2
As the Spirit of Christ works within us, we are truly a new creation. Our life is in transformation from our death in sin to the new life. A great description of the result is given by the words: For it is the God who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. (2 Cor 4:6) The Triune God has loved us from the very beginning and will to the very end.
This new creation has one goal. Just as we are reconciled through Christ to God we are called to be reconciled to others. This is the goal of living the new life. What can you do to reconcile with those from whom you are alienated?
In Christ,

When we become a new creation it is not us but Christ in us. Christ gives us power and strength to reach out to others needing His strength and His Love. It is through His Power that we believe & know He heals. When we see ourselves we feel weak but when we see ourself through His eyes we are Loved and strong and filled with joy to share His love and His power that others might believe in Him.
ReplyDeleteGay, you are right. As I state in the first sentance, the "new creation is not us but Christ in us." One can argue that the center of the ongoing transformation of our life is based on this simple term: "in Christ".
