"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
" For in Christ Jesus
neither circumcision availeth any thing,
nor uncircuncision,
but a new creature."
GALATIANS 6:15
As
Adam got away from the presence of God because of his sin, a
separation was established between himself and his Creator. The
human nature became a sinful one instantly. That's the inheritance
Adam left to all human beings. Certainly, from that moment on, the
man in his fallen nature, began to live his life apart from God.
After a number
of covenants
made by God trying to bring the man near Him again, the eternal covenant made by the blood of Christ Jesus became a reality.
God, taking the nature of a human being , came to this world to reconcile men
to Himself through Christ.
Beyond all question, the mistery of godliness
is great:
He appeared in a body,
was vindicated by the Spirit,
was seen by angels, was preached among the nations,
was believed on in the world, was taken up in glory.
1TIMOTHY 5:16
Therefore, just as sin
entered the world through one man, and death through sin,
and in this way death came to all men, because all sinned. ROMANS 5:12
As it is written:
"There is no righteous, not even one;
There is no one who
understands, no one who seeks God.
All have turned away, they
have together become worthless;
there is no one who does good, not even one." ROMANS 3:10-12
Consequently, just as the
result of one trespass was condemnation for all men,
so also the result of one act of righteousness was justification that brings life
for all men. ROMANS 5:18
Therefore, since we have been
justified through faith,
we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.
ROMANS
5:1
When a man accepts that he is
a sinner and repents from all transgressions, and believes in his heart
that Jesus Christ is the only one that can save him from his miserable condition, his reconciliation with God is made through Jesus Christ.
JESUS came to make peace between God and
mankind
In that very moment he is
Born
Again in the Spirit; a change occurs in his heart and mind, his way of speaking, and his lifestyle. The fruits that follow repentance
begin to manifest. This is the experience of the newborn, which is vital, fundamental and
a must for every human being to see the Kingdom of God.
"For all have sinned
and fall short of the glory of God."
ROMANS 3:23
"For God SO loved the
world that He gave his one and only Son,
that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but
have eternal life."
JOHN 3:16
"...If you confess with
your mouth, "JESUS is Lord,"
and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead,
you will be saved.
For it is with your heart
that you believe and are justified,
and it is with your mouth
that you confess and are saved.
ROMANS 10:9-10
"Therefore, if anyone
is in Christ,
he is a new creation;
the old has gone, the new
has come!
2 CORINTHIANS 5:17
2 CORINTHIANS
5:18-20
All this is from God, who
reconciled us to Himself through Christ
and gave us the ministry of reconciliation:
That God was
reconciling the
world to Himself in Christ, not counting men's
sins against them. And He has comitted to
us the message of reconciliation.
We are therefore Christ's
ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal
through us.
We implore you in Christ's
behalf :
