2 Corinth 5:17

"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new" 2 Corinth 5:17

If you don't 'know' you are a New Creation you will still act like the old creation. The spiritual nature of man is a fallen nature, it is the nature of Adam, it is a bad nature, which man received when Adam fell, because he got it from Satan. Not one of us can change our nature, no more than a leopard can change it's spots, we are what we are, but when we come to God through Jesus, then God who becomes our Father can change our nature as we come into Him.

When you experience this new birth, something happens on the inside of you in an instant. The old bad nature goes out and the new Nature and likeness of God comes in. God actually created you a brand new person on the inside, a brand new creation. Don't look at yourself from the old physical, moral and natural standpoint any more, now begin to 'know' you are a New Creation if you have received Christ.

Start to look at yourself from the spiritual standpoint, because that's how God sees you 'in Christ.' Believe it, know it, live it. Amen and Amen.
