Welcoming myself to a New ME!

2 Corinthians 5:17

-if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation, the old has gone, the new has come! 

The thief that was crucified beside Jesus became a new creation the moment he acknowledge the Lordship of Christ. 

It's not what we achieved in life nor we accomplished that would make us into a new person, it is our relationship with Christ! 

The scripture is very clear: IF anyone is IN Christ..., that IF means conditional. We can only have that "new life" if we have Jesus Christ in our life! IN means WITHIN US! not just pure head knowledge, but Christ must be part of our WHOLE SYSTEM! 

So, for us who professed God's Lordship in our lives, are we really becoming a new person? Have we surrendered our OLD SELF totally? Does Jesus really have the total control of our life? 

Let's check ourselves then:

How obedient are we? 

How much time we spent reading His Words? 

How about our prayer life? 

How are we towards others? 

How FAITHFUL are we? 

Yes, the world is so very cunning, Temptation is everywhere! We have social media, old habits, worldly engagement that took most of our time! 

Therefore, let's start cleansing our thoughts, setting our priorities in a way that will glorify God. 

Wake up, self!
