At this time of year, we often reminded of 2 Corinthians 5:17 and that we are made new in Christ. Let's read it together from the NASB translation: 17 Therefore if anyone is in Christ, this person is a new creation; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come. Let's study this verse with Bible Gateway Plus and look to Dr. Charles Stanley for more detail, using the NASB Life Principles Bible. He says: "When we are born again, we not only have our sin forgiven and our guilt removed, but we also receive the Holy Spirit—who comes to indwell us and live Christ's life through us. We can never be what we were before, because we have been born into His life—with a new spirit and nature. And because of that, our desires and goals should be conformed to those that God has for us." Bible Gateway Plus gives you all the tools you need to conform to God's goals for you. |
