You are a new creation...

2 Corinthians 5:17 - Therefore, if anyone is in Christ he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!

Ephesians 4:22-24 - You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; to be made new in the attitude of your minds; and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.

1 Peter 1:3 - Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

1 Corinthians 5:7 - Get rid of the old yeast that you may be a new batch without yeast-as you really are.  For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed.

Romans 6:4 - We were therefore buried with Him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.

Are you getting the picture?  This last weekend is all about Jesus giving us new life, making us a new creation, making us righteous through his gift of sacrifice.

ARE YOU LIVING IT?

Are you living a life worthy of the sacrifice?  Now don't think that this means living a perfect life.  There is only one who lived a perfect life; and He died on the cross for you and me. 

Are you living a new life?  Are you stiving to be more and more like Jesus everyday? 

We need to claim and live in our new identity which is a new creation through the savior Jesus Christ our Lord!  Know who you are, embrace it...live it!

God Bless.
