A Christian is not someone who turned a new leaf or changed from living the bad life to a good life. No! It’s greater than that; the day you received Christ into your life, you became a new creation; you received newness of life. 2 Corinthians 5:17 says, “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature…” he’s not going to be, he is! It’s a present-hour reality!
The term ‘new creature’ connotes ‘a new species of being.’ It’s not merely referring to a new life that has just begun, but also to newness in type! The new creation is a new type of man; he belongs to a new race, one that never existed before – the superman in Christ!
Jesus is the first among this class of supermen. He is called the second Adam, and the Bible says we all have been born according to the similitude of the second Adam; meaning we’re like Him. This new type of man is not subject to Satan, sin, sickness or the adverse circumstances of this world; he was born a superior being!
You are a new creation now, brace up to this truth and begin to walk in this newness of life!
