Created in His Image By Billy Graham “If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation.” —2 Corinthians 5:17, NKJV Is it not logical to believe that the only One who can re-create us is the One who created us in the first place? If your watch were out of order, you wouldn’t take it to an electrician. If your car needed overhauling, you wouldn’t take it to a plumber. If you needed an operation, you wouldn’t go to a machine shop. Our spiritual problems can only be solved by the God who created us originally. He created us in His own image and likeness, and He knows all about us. Today by the grace of His Son, He can re-create us in the likeness of His resurrection. Through faith in Jesus Christ, we are recreated and become partakers of His life. Just as we were born again by the Spirit of God, so we grow and become more like Christ as the Spirit works in our lives. “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new” (2 Corinthians 5:17). Don’t be chained to the past. You are a new creation in Christ! Hope for Today In Christ, you get to live in freedom. You are no longer chained to the mistakes and regrets of your past. The bitterness, anger, and pain that belonged to the old you are gone. You’re brand-new. | ||
