The Power of Your New Creation Life : Course 2 Companion Booklet

LET THIS SINK DEEP:
THE OLD HAS PASSED AWAY

You are meant to live with joyful confidence. To know and be known by God. To triumph over temptation. It is part of your birthright as a New Creation.

Want to know something the Apostle Paul did not say? He did not tell the Corinthians: "If anyone is in Christ, hang in there. Old ways will always dominate. Don't expect too much." No, Paul emphatically proclaimed our new creation. So why does the promise of abundant life in Christ often seem to fall short in our experience? How has the mind-blowing reality of God-Inside-You been reduced from dramatic inner transformation to "grind-it-out behavior management"? We need to realign ourselves to Scripture.

The gospel doesn't create a better you, it creates a new you.
