You Are A New Creation
by Peter Wade
First Words
The revelation to the apostle Paul of the New Creation in Christ is perhaps the most important and the most positive concept of truth for Christians today. It affects the believer's prayer life, guidance, confidence, in fact, every aspect of a believer's relationship to our Father God.
The church has preached man's unworthiness so often that Christians have
believed it. Certainly a person who has not become a Christian is unworthy to stand in God's presence -- but not one who has accepted Christ's work upon the cross. The New Creation can stand in God's presence with a sense of worth, for the Christ in us makes us worthy.
In the past decade, there has been an emphasis in Christianity on the need for self-esteem and dignity. An appreciation of what God has made you in Christ gives you self-esteem and boldness, enabling you to meet every situation you will ever run across -- and come out a winner every time!
May these studies in the New Creation be the catalyst for a new way of life for you.
-- Peter Wade
