~ New Creation ~
Introduction ~ This
series will aid us in understanding some of the many dimensions of possessing new
life through the work of Jesus Christ found in the New Testament (or New
Covenant). The theme for this series is from the book of Lamentations where we
find a great summary verse about our gracious and faithful God.
New
Mercies
~ “Through the Lord’s mercies we are not consumed, because His compassions fail
not. They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness. ‘The Lord
is my portion,’ says my soul, ‘Therefore I hope in Him!’” (Lamentations
3:22-24).
Scripture ~ “Therefore,
from now on, we regard no one according to the flesh. Even though we have known
Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know Him thus no longer. Therefore,
if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed
away; behold, all things have become new. Now all things are of God, who has
reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of
reconciliation, that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to
Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the
word of reconciliation” (2 Corinthians 5:16-19).
“God
forbid that I should boast except in the Cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by
whom the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world. For in Christ
Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but a new
creation” (Galatians 6:14-15).
Comment ~ It is not
a remake, or do-over but a new creation.
