Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. (2 Cor 5:17)
Everyman that has recieved Christ has a ledger of 2 lives. The Before Christ (BC) and After Christ regardless of whether they are aware of this or not.
The root word for behold (eido) is to see, perceive but also to experience. When a man joins this life of Christ, all the old experiences are gone. The strife, lack, frustrations delays all pass away. This is characteristic of his BC life.
This new life in Christ gives us entirely new experiences. We become wise instantly, we start to demonstrate the power of God, we start to succeed on all things we do. Therefore we are called not miss the experiences of the new life.
In Gal 6, Paul emphasizes that the true source of power , the thing that avails the promises of God is not in what we are able to do, or what we aren't, but the new creature.
For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature.(Gal 6:15)
When we look deep into "availeth" the Greek word there is to posses power. It's this state of being a new creature that gives access to this power.This simply means that as a new creature, you posses the power to experience miracles that are unheard of, you will do great exploits , you will experience a blessed and fruitful life.
But as it is written:“Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man. The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.”Start to Behold ( experience) this new life because you are indeed a new creature.
Start to Behold ( experience) this new life because you are indeed a new creature.
