2 Corinthians 5:17 (NKJV)

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.

A question was asked, "What does it mean to be a new creation in Christ Jesus?" You do not have to read much further to begin to find out.

Verses 18 and 19 tell us that we are being reconciled to God, Romans 8:15 - 17 tells us we are His family and Ephesian 1:4 & 5 tells us that is His will and was His plan from before the foundation of the world

Verse 20 tells us that we are ambassadors created new to draw others to Jesus; and verse 21 tells us that we have become the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus

And that is just the beginning, each and every day with Jesus we become spiritually stronger in Him being prepared and perfected for life forever in His presence

Abba, Father You are our God and we are Your people and family we will be forever (Revelation 21:3); it is in the name of our Lord and our Savior Christ Jesus that we rejoice and pray. Amen.
