[Discoveries] 06-07-08 New creation -- Galatians 6:16

[Inspiration in Your Inbox]

/*Neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything; what counts is 
a new creation. -- Galatians 6:16*/

The work of God is deep inside our hearts.

A new creation is what we are. Who does the creating? God does. What is 
the result? The result is you are uniquely you and I am uniquely me; and 
God, you and I can all celebrate that. While, yes, sin is sin, God does 
an amazing thing in this verse. He liberates us from cookie-cutter 
righteousness. Righteous you and righteous I look totally different, 
just like each of my four kids looks totally different. There's a family 
look, yeah, but that's where the similarity ends.

God is reckless compared to man. People try to get everybody to line up 
and wear the same "this-is-how-you-should-live" uniform. But God creates 
us each wildly different than the other, and celebrates it all.

This, by the way, is one reason we can all learn from each other. Each 
of us reflects something from the Master that isn't caught quite the 
same way by anybody else.

Be encouraged!
Dwight
