A NEW PERSON IN CHRIST JESUS!

“ THIS MEANS THAT ANYONE WHO BELONGS TO CHRIST HAS BECOME A NEW PERSON. THE OLD LIFE IS GONE; A NEW LIFE HAS BEGUN.” 2 COR. 5:17

When we ask the Lord Jesus to reside in our life our attitudes and our way of thinking eventually changes. As we continue to grow in our new life, we begin to allow our Lord to work in us and to help us in all of situations. From my own experience I can testify to you that this is a lifelong journey. It is not a magical turn-around. It is a lifelong battle that that continues throughout our life here on this earth. The Lord has a plan for each of us. This plan rises to the top of the devil’s list of things to destroy. He will fight hard to be sure we do not continue in Christ. As a newborn Christian it is important to have a great support system. We need to be surrounded by other followers of Christ who continue to support us and teach us how to pray, praise and learn about our Lord God in heaven. We need to begin to grow as babies and listen to the support of other followers of Christ. As we grow our faith grows. There will be doubts, worries, fears, health issues and so many other negative things that the devil will throw in our pathways. We must begin to build the foundation early on in life so that we will be able overcome all of the evils of this world. Our new life in Christ is an ongoing process. It is a way of life that needs to be supported by those around us. It matters not whether we have been a follower of Christ for one day or for 40 years we all need help. Through a strong focus on Jesus and a consistent prayer life our Lord will provide who we need and what we need to be successful. We must never take our eyes off of Jesus. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
