2 Corinthians 5:17 CEV: “Anyone who belongs to Christ is a new person. The past is forgotten, and everything is new.”
One Minneapolis church's mission statement speaks of the “radical transformation of lives through the power of our Lord Jesus Christ.” Jesus changes those who come to him by faith, those who are “in Christ.” The saved are not just forgiven; they are changed into a new creation!
God doesn't just “mend” the new believer; God “re-builds” them, creating something better, something brand new. And as with all of creation, God can look upon the believer he has transformed and declare that they are “very good!”
Therefore the foundation of Christianity is all about what God did for us, not about what we can or should do for God.
God wants to do a new thing in everyone's life!
Blessings and safety to everyone today!
