“Therefore if any person is [in-grafted] in Christ (the Messiah) he is a new creation (a new creature altogether); the old [previous moral and spiritual condition] has passed away. Behold, the fresh and new has come” (2 Corinthians 5:17 AMP).
The Greek rendering of the phrase “passed away” in the scripture above means “gone out of existence.” So as a new creation you’re a brand new man; not one who was merely forgiven his trespasses. The Bible says, “…we are buried with him (Christ) by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life” (Romans 6:4).
Realize that you didn't merely turn over a new leaf when you were born again; you were recreated as a new species. You may still look the same way you did before you received Christ; as a matter of fact, your physical appearance remains the same; but your spirit is new! It’s a brand new life; that’s why the Bible says “all things have become new!”
Sickness, poverty, failure and death are not a part of the new life in Christ. Such things as ancestral curses and generational sicknesses ceased to be a part of your life because you were severed from your earthly affinity when you were born again.
