Newness of Life

2 Corinthians 5:17 - "Therefore, if any man is in Christ, he is a new creation. Old things have passed away, and behold, all things have become new."

This popular scripture is a solid anchor for many believers, and it does not lose its significance as we grow older in the faith. If anything, it becomes increasingly relevant. However, despite many people knowing the words of this passage, we might not have a firm grasp of what it exactly means. Did Paul really mean what he said about all things becoming new? Is that possible? How do we make it possible? Is it something that will happen instantaneously or over time, as a result of our own effort or by the hand of God? A seemingly simple and popular scripture is also the source of much confusion, and a lack of understanding can keep many Christians from ever actually living in the truth of this passage and from having all things in their lives become new.

This charge breaks it down simply, showing us all the ways our lives should change before accepting Christ and explaining what is required of us. It is a must-watch for anyone who wants this passage to become a genuine reality in their lives. Click the video below to watch.
