Emerging from this life as a New Creation

It is my hope to launch you into a new thought while in this life time instead of driving you back into an old way of life.

2 Cor 5:17
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation ; the old has gone, the new has come!
NIV

I would like to begin with the following hope filled thought which should draw us as believers into the knowledge that we as believers in Christ in light of the truth actually do have a great need of a savior.

Gal 6:15
Neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything; what counts is a new creation
NIV

Because Christ is considered to be the savior of as many as do believe in Him, that savior should also be one which we as believers in Him should also strive to be more likened to.


1 John 4:16-18
God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him. In this way, love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgment, because in this world we are like him. There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.
NIV

I personally believe that in most instances of error it's the simple matter where we've either not been asked and or not allowed the right(eous) questions to be asked of us.

Please allow me to ask this, "Has the full intentions of God as He set out to accomplish from the beginning been finalized here on earth"?

If Gods intentions have been fulfilled, then why are you still here?

Is what we say and do today just a contemporary version and repeat of what was done in the previous generation(s)?

What continues to prove itself so strong that it forges the destiny of history?

Could it be that still too few are defending the presence and interaction(s) of a God they're assuming they know instead of seeking out "The God" they've yet to know more fully?

The importance of intimacy within a relationship is to come to know the one you've been joined with.

Maybe a relationship that is true should be more clearly defined as if the method of coming to terms with the things that you Don't otherwise know about someone instead of what you've assumed you Do know?

If you doubt what I suggest, then try and have an intimate relationship with a large number of people at the same time to then find yourself able to truthfully say "I know what each would do in any given scenario"?

Consider the wife or husband which gets presented with the allegation of their spouses infidelity? Whose testimony concerning that same allegation is then considered to be true? Who's weighing what's been said?

Is the innocent spouses denial believed or will it be the one which presents the false allegation that's believed?

What if man had the opportunity to preview his own history as if he were to aid in the drafting process for  his eternal blueprint while at the same time living it out moment by moment?

Can you see the importance of guidance from one moment to the next or do you view such guidance as the infringement of your God given right to maintain and then live out and through your own opinion?

Allow me to ask what many are not willing to present today.

Why is God being painted as so mysterious when it has been plainly spoken from His lips the following?


John 6:43-48
"Stop grumbling among yourselves," Jesus answered. "No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him, and I will raise him up at the last day. It is written in the Prophets: 'They will all be taught by God .' Everyone who listens to the Father and learns from him comes to me. No one has seen the Father except the one who is from God; only he has seen the Father. I tell you the truth, he who believes has everlasting life. I am the bread of life
NIV

Could it be the simple case in light of the truth that You are the only one that's allowing all the wrong question(s) to be asked of You?

Could it be true that You remain convinced as if in control of the outcome of your life choices made by way of remaining unwilling to answer such questions in the light of truth?

Instead could it be that the net result of your choices made have come to pass due to your denial of the voice of God as if the loving voice of a father or is it that you're not familiar with the voice which originates from everything that true love is?

His voice as if the essence of each attempt that has been made in an effort to pierce through your opinion that may in the light of truth be wrong?

Do you know the Lord your Jesus the Christ (your savior) or is the character of His person still just some big mystery?

John 17:3
Now this is eternal life : that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.
NIV

When and how does one come to "Know" the character of another person?

Is it in that persons presence or in their absence that you truly "Know' the one they claim to know?

If you're ever questioned by a third party about someone else in their absence, can you then speak for them if they're not here with you?

Now suppose that person were here with you, could they not simply speak for themselves once questioned?

If the following were a promise made by someone you don't presently know then how would you prepare to receive such a promise as if it were intended for you too in all truth?


Ps 32:8
I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go ;
I will counsel you and watch over you.
NIV

You see we are more in control of the "Who" we do allow to counsel us more than we are willing to consider.

Some reject their parents and maybe rightfully so, while others reject the oversight that's volunteered themselves to be assigned in their lives.

I can say this with all confidence that very few are beautiful day in and day out straight from the womb, yet anyone can be taught if they're willing to be instructed.

I've yet to meet the parent or child who could in ALL truth say that they've been "Completely" satisfied every single moment with "Every" choice of the person that's been placed in their life whether that perspective is from a parent or child.

Many can make the later in life comment that they wouldn't change a thing if they had it all to do over again, but is that the truth or simply a comment that's offered that is void of any spiritually deeper knowing (knowledge)?

Is that the truth or just a feel good statement which loving parents or children are programmed to say while reviewing and hoping to bolster an self esteem which should be viewed as one which is immature (not more fully developed)?

Here's my point, if your life were given the opportunity to happen all over again would you expect to make the same mistakes as you did before or would you expect to make fewer mistakes because of what you've "since" learned? 

I can somehow hear some saying, "God doesn't make mistakes" which I also believe to be true, yet if he doesn't make mistakes then who does that leave to consider in the instances of error(s) made?

Here is where pride has a field day in most peoples lives. The very beachhead where a mutual enemy (if We have one that's mutual) looks to land his troops on the shores of you life.

Now let me ask you this, "Is it only the tough times resulting as choices made which (make you uneasy) mold and shape you or is it more to do with the poor interpretation of the net result(s) of choices made which cause you to then consider them as comfort(s) in life"?

Next, how does either find their way into your daily life and who ultimately makes all the "Choices"?

Now fast forward to where you are now. 

Next let's assume that you've  moved out of the child "Hood" and have managed to position yourself because you've assumed you do know others so well.

If that be true, then why do you still blame them as part of the reason for where you are now or as the reason why you can't seem to get to where you want to be from the address where you are now?

Do you feel as if you've been shut out or shut in with regards to "Needed" guidance while enduring your life span?

Which side of the door of your life do you see yourself standing?

Especially if the choice of life eternal gets made here and now which is only the humble beginnings of a life that has been filled only by way of the Truth.

Better still, which side do you see others standing? On the inside with you or on the outside knocking so they too can come in where it's warm and comfortable where you are?

The next time you find yourself where it's cold and uncomfortable while with someone else, listen to not only what gets said but also to the suggestion itself and who offers up the suggestion, "Let's (us) go inside where it's warm and much more comfortable"!

If you are a part of the church (those who have been called out by God as if to be a separate people) will you not then hear what has been said as if to the church (assembled house of Gods children from every corner of the earth)?

Rev 3:19-22

Those whom I love I rebuke and discipline. So be earnest, and repent. Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me. 

To him who overcomes, I will give the right to sit with me on my throne, just as I overcame and sat down with my Father on his throne. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches."  

NIV

If one part suffers, every part suffers with it

There are many words today which have lost their meaning, yet is it truly their loss or the loss of the intended recipients which such words were designed to serve?

The essence of such words fall short of providing their (true) benefit. The nutrients of their deeper (spiritual) meaning fails to sustain because of what's been forgotten.

What's been forgotten?

The importance of who spoke them and why.

Is it still any great wonder when the "Why" gets asked? What about the head when it isn't honored?


1 Cor 12:26
If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it.
NIV

In my opinion a man does not lose his soul as if it were a wallet. Instead he's seduced having believed lie upon lie having ignored the forth coming and forever present truth concerning heavenly realities.

Quite plainly, "I've yet to meet a person that hasn't at least heard of Jesus". Now the one which represented Jesus as the "Christ" in everyone of those discussions is completely another story to unfold.

Matt 16:25-27
For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me will find it.

What good will it be for a man if he gains the whole world, yet forfeits his soul?

Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul ?

For the Son of Man is going to come in his Father's glory with his angels, and then he will reward each person according to what he has done.
NIV

Someone can choose not to touch the man yet they can still assault him by confusing his words.

1 John 2:24-25
See that what you have heard from the beginning remains in you. If it does, you also will remain in the Son and in the Father. And this is what he promised us — even eternal life.
NIV

1 John 4:2-3

This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist , which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world. 

NIV

Many will acknowledge there was a man called Jesus. Some will even go as far to acknowledge that Jesus was also a prophet.

Some say that Jesus could never have walked on water or have never been able to have raised anyone from the dead here on earth to then experience continued existence and walk among his fellow man.

Many continue to refuse to acknowledge (believe in) Jesus as their Savior which came in the flesh as a man, having been born of a virgin. This same Jesus who then realized death at the hands of humanity who now sits at the right hand of God on His everlasting throne having risen from the dead.

In lite of such unbelief how could there be any hope of life eternal once their natural body encounters the first death?

The plea of this same Jesus can be read below.


John 14:10-12
Don't you believe that I am in the Father , and that the Father is in me? The words I say to you are not just my own. Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who is doing his work. Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; or at least believe on the evidence of the miracles themselves.
NIV

Is it still any wonder why in this season of time and its conditioning being presented that there is such a great need for the miraculous of our father to manifest?

How can he when we don't believe that He is more than able to perform the miraculous he also came to demonstrate as the obvious that's now so easily ignored?


John 6:45-51
It is written in the Prophets: 'They will all be taught by God.' Everyone who listens to the Father and learns from him comes to me.

No one has seen the Father except the one who is from God; only he has seen the Father. I tell you the truth, he who believes has everlasting life. I am the bread of life. 


Your forefathers ate the manna in the desert, yet they died. But here is the bread that comes down from heaven, which a man may eat and not die. 

I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. This bread is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.
NIV

John 14:5-6

Thomas said to him, "Lord, we don't know where you are going, so how can we know the way?"

Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
NIV
