A New Creature

Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
2 Corinthians 5:17

The scriptures tell us that there is only One Creator, it is God almighty. When we read in the word of God that we are “new creatures” and “created in righteousness and true holiness” (Eph.4:24). What does it mean? Since only God can create, then this “new creation” can only be the work of God.

The first thing about the new creation is, that it is In Christ as are all things, “that old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new”.

What has passed away? That we once knew Christ after the flesh, after a fleshly carnal manner, we didn’t know him as the sovereign, successful, Savior. We once thought he died for all men, now we know that the ones he died for died with him.

We once lived for ourselves, now the love of Christ constrains us. We now know that He loved us before the world was and gave Himself for our sins. Such love for us must respond with love for him.

We walked by sight we now walk by faith, which we now know is the gift of God. We knew nothing of any righteousness but our own, now we know that there is only one righteousness and that is was Christ’s and in the new creation we have him who is our righteousness. We now know how horrible sin is, that the only way it can be dealt with justly was for God “to make him sin who knew no sin”, and the only way we can be righteous is for God to make us so.

For all the “old things passed away” there “are new things.” It is new that we “groan to be clothed upon with our house from heaven”. If we will be honest with the 2 Corinthians 5 it will be obvious that there were “old things we believed, old ways that we lived, that have passed away” and there “are new things”. Faith is new, love for Christ is new, his righteousness is new, and reconciliation is new, that all for whom Christ died, died with him. Not knowing Christ after the flesh is new, we now know Him spiritually. How did “old things pass away, and all things become new?" God made us New Creatures In Christ!
