Once we believe, and by faith receive, God's love and forgiveness, it opens up a new world. A world foreign to all that we have known. A world where selfishness, pride, greed, envy , violence, and hatred do not rule but are swallowed up by His almighty love. A love that gives itself away to others. All things have become new.
The addictions and private hells that men and women once faced are dismissed by the power of His Cross. Jesus has been to the depth hell and come out victorious in resurrection power, breaking the bondage of sin. In Him, we are apart of a NEW MANKIND. We have never been before.
Joined to Him, Spirit to spirit, we have been born from above to be part of this NEW KIND OF HUMANITY. The world around us still may HAUNT us, but IN HIM, we have come to the ultimate reality. We are alive for the first time no longer WALKING DEAD MEN SPIRITUALLY SEPARATED FROM OUR CREATOR. Once we inhabited the domain of darkness, but now translated into The Kingdom of His dear Son. Colossians 1:13,14.
This NEW COMPANY of people is made up of men and women who believe that Jesus is the final reality. He is the Truth , the only way to the Father, He has died in their place for forgiveness of sin and believe that this world is in PROCESS of passing away.
This company of LOST PRODIGALS have been found, forgiven , MADE NEW, and crazy with JOY. They worship and give thanks and in their gatherings, encouraging one another, " HE IS ALIVE, HE IS PRESENT", establishing them in this NEWNESS OF LIFE. They are new creations. I Cor. 5:17.
Out of death has come new life and a new kind of humanity from every color and nation that has been created. If you are in Christ you are seated in Him in Heavenly Places. And it is all by GRACE THROUGH FAITH in the finished work of Christ. He died in our place, and rose again to bring us home to our Father.
On earth today there are three kinds of people groups: the Jew, the Gentile (all the other nations) and the Born from Above believers. All three groups contain peoples from many nations. Have you ever thought about which people group you belong ? Your future will depend on it. Only the new group created out of the death and resurrection of the Lord Jesus will see Heaven. Repent, Believe and Receive the Holy Spirit ." YOU MUST BE BORN AGAIN."
John 3:3-7
