Christian, have you considered that in every day of your "new" life in Christ God is forming and fashioning you for heaven? God is renovating and remaking you; He is re-stamping His image upon your soul in what sin has so terribly damaged. Christian, you are being conformed to the image of Christ!
Romans 8:29: "For whom He did foreknow, He also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of His Son"
God is forming and fashioning Christ in you! Do you understand this? Do you go into every day with a conscious awareness that THIS is what God is actively DOING in your life? This is the reason for every providence in your life! God is working in you both to will and to do of His good pleasure.
And then, do you realize that "in Christ" you are no longer of this world, but you are a citizen of the new heaven and the new earth wherein dwelleth only righteousness! It will be completely free of sin and death and sorrow and pain? You are (MADE NEW) Christian for this new world.
2 Corinthians 5:17: "Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: (a new creation), old things, (or the old you) is passed away; behold, all things are become new".
There should and must be a newness in your person and in your character and in your spirit; this should and will come from the Spirit of God within you.
Ezekiel 36:26: "A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh. And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in myu statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them"
So how are you to go into this new day, and every new day that God gives you in this life?
Ephesians 4:21-24: "If so be that ye have heard Him, and have been taught by Him, as the truth is in Jesus: that ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; and be renewed in the spirit of your mind; and that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness"
Every new day, child of God, should begin with "putting off" the old man and "putting on" the new man. But don't FORGET prayer; in every Christian duty and command from God's Holy Scriptures, we must ask our Father to enable and grant us by His grace, the strength and ability to DO as He commands us. And finally, don't forget that whatever God sends into your life today, by His wise providence, He has personally designed it for you; He is fashioning you for heaven! Don't kick against the pricks of God's providence!
