“Everything Is Made New” – Bible study

Almost everything this writer possesses is old (including myself – 67 years) an old car (11 years); old clothes (5-10 years); old appliances (10-20 years); old furniture (10-20 years); old television (18 years); old computer (7 years); old dog (15 years).

However, when we are in Christ (Gal. 3:26-27), everything is made new (2 Corinthians 5:17 NCV).

When we are in Christ, old values are rejected, old standards are repudiated, and old lusts are crucified (Romans 6:6; cf. Gal. 2:20). In Christ is where “all spiritual blessings” reside (Ephesians 1:3 KJV).

Out of Christ, there is nothing but death (Romans 6:23), remorse (Luke 23:39-41), hopelessness (2 Corinthians 7:10 AMP; 1 Thessalonians 4:13) and condemnation (Luke 23:40).

Dear reader, do you want something in life that is permanently new? Do you want a new life? You can have that “new” life if you are in Christ.

How do we get into Christ? Theres only one way to get into Christ, and that is to be baptized into Christ (Gal. 3:27). We are baptized into Christ when we are baptized into His death (Romans 6:3).

When we are raised up from the watery grave of baptism, we begin our Christian walk in newness of life (Romans 6:4). We become a new creation where everything is made new (2 Corinthians 5:17 NCV).

Please think about the above statements in light of the inspired Scriptures (Acts 17:11), and then take action to acquire this “new” life.
