It is amazing that even today a lot of Christians don’t understand what Christianity really is. Some think to be born again means to change your ways. Others think being born again is making good New Year resolutions. Irrespective of what you may think, the Word of God still remains the same on the topic. There is a difference between the ‘you’ before and the ‘you’ after you receive Christ. The person before had the nature of the devil, therefore he sinned at will. But that person is dead! Right now you are a brand new person. The new creation has no past. When you know who you really are in Christ, such statements as, “when I used to do this or that…” or “when I was…” will completely leave your vocabulary because it was never you. The new creation is like a new baby; he has no past, because old things are passed away, and all things have become new. As far as God is concerned, you never existed before; your past has been buried in the grave from which Jesus arose victorious. Isn't it exciting to know that you have a new beginning in life? Your past failures and disappointments don’t matter anymore. You can now chart your course for victory and success in the Word of God. Acquaint yourself with your new nature today by studying the Scriptures.
