[Discoveries] 09-27-07 New creation - 2 Corinthians 5:17

[Inspiration in Your Inbox]

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

I was born again in a little yellow house in Carolina Beach, North 
Carolina when I was about ten years old. At that moment, the Spirit of 
God transformed me, and I became a new person. When I was placed in 
Christ, an indestructible Dwight was born, and the old dead Dwight 
ceased to be. I was created, as the Bible says elsewhere, for good works.

This is the work of God.

We all know the works of the flesh ... impurity, idolatry, hatred, 
discord, jealousy, selfish ambition and so on. Most of us -- me included 
-- know these things because we've been guilty of them at various times.

I would like to suggest to you that God's work is stronger, more 
enduring, more cunning, more indestructible, more powerful than the 
works of the flesh. Jesus is bringing transforming newness to every part 
of us.

God's work is certain and powerful. But it is also patient and 
considerate. God transforms us one "yes" at a time.

Be encouraged!
Dwight
