Fresh, Never Been Use!

 

¹⁷Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. – 2 Cor 5:17

According to 2 Corinthians 5:17 we have God’s nature. Old things are passed away and behold all things have become new. Old is the word in the Greek which means “the original design”. “Things” is not things in the Greek, it really means “he’s or she’s.” “Things” is you. The old original design of he and she is gone. They have passed away and the phrase "passed away" means it doesn’t exist anymore, as though it were disintegrated.

 

Behold all “things”, the whole person, has become new. The root word of become, is the same word for the name of the book of Genesis. It means to create. All “things” become new; the things are he’s or she’s, people, personalities...us. It is really the word for human beings. The word “new” means fresh, never used before. It is just like cracking the seal on that coffee can in the morning and smelling the aroma. It has never been used before. It is fresh, new, exciting. That is the way God looks at us. That is what 2 Corinthians 5:17 says. When we have a brand new nature we have the very nature of God.

Be Life Giving because you are!
