The New Creature’s Reality

Apostle Grace Lubega

1 John 3:3(KJV); And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.

The reality of a New Testament believer is that whatsoever he does in Christ is because he is what he does. 

Like our theme scripture puts it, you purify yourself because you are pure. We don’t do things to become, we do things because we are. 

The New Testament believer is not a “becoming” creature. When Paul describes you, he says, “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are BECOME new.”( 2 Corinthians 5:17).

The newness of your life is a past tense reality. You are already new; already divinely healthy; already favoured; already prosperous; already powerful. 

You are not becoming healthy; becoming favoured; becoming prosperous or becoming powerful.

Whatsoever you do is because you already are.

You work hard because you are a hard worker. You succeed because you are a success. You make wealth because you are wealthy. You seek wisdom because you are wise.

Hallelujah!

GOLDEN NUGGET:

The newness of your life is a past tense reality. You are already new; already divinely healthy; already favoured; already prosperous; already powerful. 

PRAYER: My loving Father, I thank you for the newness of life. Every day, I embrace the reality of my life in you and of what you have made me be. I behold this life through the eyes of the spirit and yield myself to its abundance. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
