THE NEW MAN's WAYS
Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new .
2 Corinthians 5:17
A story was told of a
boy who joined a gang while in primary school. He absconded from home
at age 12 and was trapped in gangsterism and drug offences. He
eventually returned home but could not adjust having been expelled from
school. By divine providence, he enrolled in another school where he
heard the gospel message, gave his life to Christ and experienced a new
life. “The Bible teaches that when a person comes to Christ, a change
takes place that is reflected in everything he does,†says Billy
Graham.
Read this, “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your
ways my ways, saith the LORD†(Isaiah 55:8). If you have surrendered
your life to Christ then you are a ‘new man’ and it must show in
your ways: character, conduct and relationships. Your thoughts and ways
will become God’s. Praise be to God! If you are still a sinner, repent
today, and Christ will give you a new life and power to go and sin no
more.
Challenge: Forsake your old sinful life and embrace Christ
Prayer: Father, help me put off the old man for the new man
Quote: Live for Christ
