Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come. Now all these things are from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ. 2 Corinthians 5:17-18.
Today your LORD (יהוה) God (אלהים) says:
After Adam let sin into the world, he became sin and every thought he had was evil. When you desire to know evil more than you desire to know Me your life becomes like hell even on earth.
For the report of your obedience has reached to all; therefore I am rejoicing over you, but I want you to be wise in what is good and innocent in what is evil. The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus be with you. Romans 16:19-20.
Adam entered into the slavery of sin and death, which brought in the curse of sickness, poverty, and eternal death. It brought violence into the earth, which had never been the plan, and it entered Adam’s family as Cain slew Able and it continued from there. Sin crouched at the door but you could have been its master.
Man was hopelessly lost and without Me in the world, the flood did not take care of it because even though by walking with Me in grace Noah had more good than evil in him, but the perishable seed Adam had planted was still there and his sons picked it up as well. And so the evil began to grow again.
There was only one way to rectify your condition and open Heaven to you. I had to recreate you in My image. But until every stain, every root, of sin was out of you I could not. Covenant helped and authorized Me to work and raise you up to higher realms but the root was still there so that My image in you defiled.
And I took care of the sin issue in My Son. Simple, He became sin for you and you became righteous with His own righteousness, which is My righteousness.
Now where there is forgiveness of these things, there is no longer any offering for sin. Therefore, brethren, since we have confidence to enter the holy place by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way which He inaugurated for us through the veil, that is, His flesh, and since we have a great priest over the house of God, 22 let us draw near with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. Hebrews 10:19-22.
When you take Jesus as your Lord and submit to His jurisdiction, I undo what Adam did in you. I first wash away every sin, every stain of sin in you by the blood of My Son, and then by My Spirit I pull out the perishable seed and implant the imperishable seed of My Word, which saves your souls, so that born again and regenerated in the water of My Word you are a new creation in Christ and have eternal life in you.
You are no longer the same person you were when you were born naturally of your earthly parents from the perishable and corrupted seed that is from Adam, in Christ I have recreated you in My image. It is the ultimate second chance to do it right this time for you.
Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come. Now all these things are from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ. 2 Corinthians 5:17-18.
But I am so careful to keep you from doing what Adam did all over again, once you are saved and a new creation I seal you in Christ by the Holy Spirit, as the pledge of the redemption of your bodies yet to come on the Last Day. You have a redeemed spirit now, you need to renew your mind to match it, and when the Day comes for the judgment, you will have a glorious new heavenly body to match your born-again spirit and your renewed soul. For I who began this good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus. Philippians 1:6.
Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you entirely; and may your spirit and soul and body be preserved complete, without blame at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. Faithful is He who calls you, and He also will bring it to pass. 1 Thessalonians 5:23-24.
It is the same everlasting Covenant that begun with Noah at the time of the flood, and its goal was always to raise you back up to My image and according to My likeness, filled with My goodness without a trace of sin and evil. But it was not until the division of the old to the new that I accomplished this perfectly in Christ once for all. Christ is the dividing line and even the world that denies Me knows this, the ages are divided between before and after the birth of Christ, whether they call it BC and AD or BCE and CE, somehow all know, saved or unsaved, that Christ is the dividing line and the point of a new beginning. They have perceived it as well.
Then the LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great on the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. The LORD was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart. The LORD said, “I will blot out man whom I have created from the face of the land, from man to animals to creeping things and to birds of the sky; for I am sorry that I have made them.” But Noah found favor in the eyes of the LORD. Genesis 6:5-8.
What made Noah different from every man on earth? The same way Adam had begun his life with Me but had walked away from, the same way that Enoch walked over the light line into My Kingdom, the same wayAbraham was credited as righteous by Me, the same way that Joseph went from the pit to the palace, and the same way David went from the fields of Bethlehem to reigning in Jerusalem as king over Israel: “Noah walked with God.” Genesis 6:9.
When you walk with Me your life becomes a place of grace.
To walk with Me you must walk by faith and not by sight and you must be in agreement with Me. Noah did both when he built the ark and it saved him, his family, and all of you from ceasing to be though I had conceived you all in My heart on the sixth day of creation. It was never My intention to leave you or forsake you for even a moment but Adam left and forsook Me for the rest of his days on earth. Which were many, though I limited your earthly sojourn to 120 years at the time of the flood. But your life is eternal once I birth you into the earth.
But the first creation man corrupted, the recreation you cannot for it was done for you by My Son and He will never sin. And you are a new creation IN HIM. It is sealed once you take it by faith.
In Him, you also, after listening to the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation—having also believed, you were sealed in Him with the Holy Spirit of promise, who is given as a pledge of our inheritance, with a view to the redemption of God’s own possession, to the praise of His glory. Ephesians 1:13-14.
You needed more than a ceremonial washing to change you, more than positive thinking, more than self-realization and contact with the “universe,” more than offering the burnt offering of a ram, goat, bull or lamb, the old man had to die, crucified with Christ, and the new man rise to life with Christ. You had to be born again from above. You had to be recreated entirely new.
Or do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus have been baptized into His death? Therefore we have been buried with Him through baptism into death, so that as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we too might walk in newness of life. For if we have become [a]united with Him in the likeness of His death, certainly we shall also be in the likeness of His resurrection, knowing this, that our old self was crucified with Him, in order that our body of sin might be done away with, so that we would no longer be slaves to sin for he who has died is freed from sin. Romans 6:3-7.
And there is much more for you have gone from death to life, you have crossed the dividing line in Christ,
Now if we have died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him, 9 knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, is never to die again; death no longer is master over Him. For the death that He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life that He lives, He lives to God. Even so consider yourselves to be dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus. Romans 6:8-11.
Do you understand now how very important it is for you to receive Jesus as Lord?
As many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name, who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God. John 1:12-13.
No longer know yourself as you were before Christ, only see yourself as I do, that is, IN CHRIST and you will rise up from the dust and ascend from glory to glory and the Heavens will pour out a blessing you cannot contain.
I love you. Aren’t you glad I birthed you from the depths of My bosom into the world after Christ was born? You can be recreated in My image and according to My likeness and walk in newness of life. The sin is gone and the wedding feast of My Son is on! And there is a place just for you at the family table.
