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 NKJV
The world has its way of bouncing back after a crisis. History had shown however, that it never goes
back completely to the way things were before. Crisis forces new ways of doing
things, different approaches, attitudes and mindsets. Leaders emerged, and some
are deposed. The old systems make way for new ones; old habits become outdated and
new ones are set.
The world continues to battle with an
unseen enemy as it also reshapes for life after. There will be a new
normal as this period becomes another critical junction in history.
The day I surrendered my life to serve the
one true God through faith in His only begotten Son was a critical junction in my
life journey. I’m sure many believers would also identify their conversion as a
significant milestone of their life.
Life as we knew it was never the same and
praise the Lord for that! We became new creation in Christ, old things passed
away and everything became new in our Saviour. We were freed from the shackles
of sin; we entered a realm of peace and rest beyond human understanding; a joy
that was not dependent on feeling became illuminated perpetually in our heart.
Jesus Christ become our #newnormal.
The world will reshape itself to new ways
through a combination of laws, regulation and enforcement. Life as a new
creation in Christ is not dependent on enforcement of laws rather the grace of
Elohim God.
We have personal responsibility to choose a
life of righteous living empowered and enabled by the Spirit of God in us by
the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Almighty Father, thank you for the gift of
my life and salvation. Help me to live as a new creation in Your Son, my lord
and saviour Jesus Christ. Old things – ungodly habits, sinful living,
unrighteousness have become the past in my life. I live a new life in Christ
for Your glory. Amen.
I pray that this inspires you to reflect on
your relationship with Elohim and be determined to be more and do more for Him
each day.
