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.

Jesus gives each of us the opportunity to choose and when we choose Him (Romans 10:9 & 10) we become new in Him, all of our old lives have passed away, we are born a second time and become Him in the eyes of God

Revelation 21:3 & 4 (NKJV)

And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, "Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes, there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away."

The question for each of us is do we want to become new here on this earth, do we desire for the all the old to pass away and for others here on this earth to see Jesus in us - know this, that is also God's desire, only the devil wants to keep you mired in the muck of life, to destroy you and all those around you

Abba, Father may each of us know the love of Jesus so that we will know the fullness of You (Ephesians 3:19) and may each of us answer the upward call of You in Christ Jesus (Philippians 3:14); it is in the name of our Lord and our Savior Christ Jesus that we rejoice and pray. Amen.
