A lot of Christians have read in their bible about being a new creature but most of them aren't walking in the reality of it.

Your definition of a new creature might be entirely different from God's definition, now let's go on a journey through the scriptures.

The scripture in 2corinthians 5:17 says that "therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature, old things are passed away, behold, all things are new" (KJV).

John 1:3 also says that "in him was life and the life was a light unto all men, and it shineth in darkness and darkness comprehend it not" (KJV).

The implication of being in Christ is this:

First, the life of God that makes you encounter light is introduced to you, it breaks the Adamic nature in you and introduces the God life, you become a new creature.

Secondly, because the life of God that automatically leads you to the light has been introduced, old things are passed away.



God is not interested in how ugly or beautiful your past is, he doesn't use old things, he makes all things new.

Stop dwelling on the past that the light of God has illuminated upon.

"Behold, all things are become new" wow! Hallelujah!

This is what the light of God does to a man, it drenches you of old mentality, it rids you of old mindset( things that were embedded in you due to the Adamic nature, he makes all things new).

This is because you do not need an old wine bottle for a new wine, it will burst, take a look at something, if you wore a cloth that has worn out on a new one, what does it look like? The old one does not fit or match with the new one right? Yes that is just how it is too, you do not need that old mentality and mindset for the new Journey.

Hope you know that the light of God is connected to God's word? let's take a look at scriptures in John 1:1 it says, "in the beginning was the word and the word was with God and the word was God"

John 1 vs 3 says "in the word was life and the life was a light unto all men".

The light of God illuminates every darkness in your life, and all things become new, your knowledge becomes enlightened,

The psalmist said "thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light to his path always". It then means that the word of God produces light that illuminates the paths of men.

Always remember this God is not interested in your past, he makes all things new.
