For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature. Galatians 6:15
Greetings to you all in the matchless name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. He is the one who loved us, washed us through His precious blood, cleansing all our sins, made us Kings and Priests before God the Father. To Him, all praise, majesty and glory ascribe. By the grace of God, I am completing the New Creation series. As per the title verse, every true disciple of Christ is a New Creation and that's what matters the most. A person who is born again through the Word and Spirit of God. He walks in His ways. Psalm 119:3
God sees the inside and not the outside. It means how we project ourselves in front of others never matters to God. He sees the beauty of the soul and rewards each one accordingly. Jesus spoke about entering the narrow gate in Matthew 7:14 and then He also spoke about the false prophets who are after money and said to identify them through their fruits not by their outward actions and then He also mentioned that there are many people who say that they prophesied, cast out devils and worked miracles in His name but Jesus would tell do them depart from me, you worked iniquity. So, those who are not showing Jesus to people instead project themselves in the name of Jesus for name, fame and money making would be cast out. So, it is all about being real for God. Same way, there will be preachers who are blinded by the law and whose eyes were not opened on what Jesus has accomplished on cross. Hearing their preaching is useless as it only brings condemnation to the believers and will not bring transformation that God expects from the inside.
Dear reader, God first expect you to grow as a new creation in Christ. Then, He will use you and touch many people through you. Get yourself trained in the Word of God. Make your foundation on the Word as Jesus mentioned in the same chapter Matthew 7:24-27. If the Word of God indwells inside you, then it means that the Spirit of God dwells inside you and the Lord will work through you. You will inherit all the blessings that God has in store for you in eternity. Not only that, you will get all your needs met in this life as well. Matthew 6:33. If there is something short for you, if you have some ongoing trouble for you, remember Jesus know it all. He is watching over you and God will meet all your needs according to His riches in glory through Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:19. Remember how Jesus asked His disciples with care and concern "did you lack anything?" before His departure in Luke 22:35.
If you are a new creation and walking in the spirit, you will have the power of the Holy Spirit manifesting in your lives to overcome all the temptations and tribulations. It will be very difficult to go through the temptations and tribulations that you may even think it would be better to die instead of living through the moment. But, remember that as per James 1:12, let's resist temptation and get the promised crown of life. Blessed is the man that endures temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.
So, be cheerful. Casting all your care upon him; for he cares for you. 1 Peter 5:7. I am telling you again you will be richly rewarded in heaven and you will share the eternal joy with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Now as a new creation, you have a goal towards which you have to run with patience and the goal is Christ Himself who is the author and finisher of faith. Just refer to those who have already finished the race as faithful witnesses. Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. Hebrews 12:1,2
There is one more thing which we are called to look unto the price of the eternal life. Nothing in this world should really took your attention from that goal such that we should push forth to that. Paul says this is the blessed hope in Titus 2:13 as Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Savior Jesus Christ. When He returns all the sufferings that we endured here will vanish in a moment and we will be taken to live with Him in eternal joy for ever and ever. Let's look forward to the resurrection of dead and the transfiguration of living saints when our Lord returns for the Church. "For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord." 1 Thessalonians 4:16.17 and same is referred to in 1 Corinthians 15:51-55.
Let's look forward for the blessed hope and it is not very far and it is going to happen in our life time as we are nearing the 2000th year mark of the crucifixion and resurrection of Christ. I bless every one who reads this and all the new creation series in the name of the Lord and may God glorify you through His glory. I will definitely write many more short articles that the Spirit reveals to me and motivates me to write from time to time. All glory, honor, praise to the Father through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Amen.
