2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away;
behold, new things have come.
If we are indeed a new
creature (creation) why do we spend so much time dwelling upon and dealing with
the old one? I have been crucified with Christ, it is no longer I who live but
Christ who lives in me! Let us live in the new (and amazingly improved) version
that Christ has created us to be…as we are conformed into His image. We no
longer have to walk in the darkness - we are able to walk in the True Light (for
you were formerly darkness, but now you are Light in the Lord). And the fruit
of the Light consists in all goodness and righteousness and truth. That is
where I desire to walk!
John 8:12-13 Then Jesus
again spoke to them, saying, "I am the Light of the world; he who follows
Me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the Light of life."
Ephesians 5:6-10 Let no
one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God
comes upon the sons of disobedience. Therefore do not be partakers with them; for
you were formerly darkness, but now you are Light in the Lord; walk as children of Light (for the fruit of
the Light consists in all goodness and righteousness and truth), trying to
learn what is pleasing to the Lord.
