Therefore if any person is [ingrafted] in Christ (the Messiah) he is a new creation (a new creature altogether); the old [previous moral and spiritual condition] has passed away. Behold, the fresh and new has come!
But all things are from God, Who through Jesus Christ reconciled us to Himself [received us into favor, brought us into harmony with Himself] and gave to us the ministry of reconciliation [that by word and deed we might aim to bring others into harmony with Him].
This scripture rings true for a new babe in Christ ~ all things are new! It also is true for someone who has been walking with Christ for 50 years. His mercies are NEW every morning! What a precious Savior whose love brings a new start every single day. His love and grace follow us every single day, all the days of our lives. Let us rejoice in our Faithful Lord!
