Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. 2 Cor 5:17
Greetings to all of you in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I am glad to resume back my blog articles after a long gap. As per the intuition of Holy Spirit, I am resuming the New Creation series that I had been writing and this is really going to be a short chapter summarizing what and all we had seen in this series till now.
This series started with a question of What should I do to please God in my life ? or How do I fulfil His will in my life? Should I be an apostle or a prophet or an evangelist to please God. I explained that the will of God is to walk this life as a true Christian. The word Christian means to have Christ in our life. To be a true Christian we have to walk in the spirit of Christ. We have seen this in those chapters.
We have seen how sin divided man and God and how God provided solution to fix the gap through Jesus Christ. This is essentially what is salvation process. Once we are saved through our belief in Jesus through our acceptance and declarration, we should affirm that by the process of baptism. Baptism refers to the process of getting immmersed in water where our old man getting crucified with Jesus and buried with Him through faith and when we raise up the new man gets created. This new inner man is a baby now and he needs to grow. We will see these process in the upcoming posts. I have also mentioned about the other types of baptism (Baptism by Holy Spirit and Baptism by Fire).
I had dealt some of them in detail in the older chapters. I will focus on how to walk in the spirit of the Lord with faith, how to grow the inner man, how to sustain when troubles come our way, how not to turn back to the older ways and keep focused, how to bear fruits for Christ and more in the forthcoming chapters. This is just a very short summary. Remember me and my family in your prayers.
Sometimes we feel upbeat in our spiritual life and sometimes we feel very down. This is normal. But, one thing for sure is our Lord Jesus Christ is always with us. One who promised is truthful and sincere. He never changes. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever. Hebrews 13:8. He neither leaves us nor forsakes us. Even through our worst mistakes or sins, He helps us to come up and climb back. With His loving arms, He brings out from the miry clay, cleanses us with His blood, lifts us on the mountain. So, hold on to Him even if situation turns from worse to worst. Be worried for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Phil 4:6,7
All glory, honor and praise to God through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be dominion, glory, power for ever and ever. Amen.
