2nd Corinthians 5:17 - We are a new creation!

2nd Corinthians 5:17 - Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation: the old is gone, the new has come! When we accept Christ into our lives and start to live our lives for Him and according to His will, we die to our old lives. we are seen as dead to sin and we are made a new creation. not one of sin or one of this world but we are born again as sons and daughters of the one true God. for all of my kids out there, please keep this in mind. you are precious in the eyes of the Lord. he has made you new, things that you struggled with in the past, the drama that every school year brings, all the mess that we have in our daily lives.....all that is your old life. you can not be a new creation and live the same way as you always have.
