Old Things--New Things Dec.31

Old Things—New Things

“Whoever is a believer in Christ is a new creation. The old way of living has disappeared. A new way of living has come into existence.” 

[2 Cor.5:17, GWT].

What was the old way of living?

One view of life says there are three main motivators:

1)   Wanting to be a part of the crowd.

2)   Pleasurable sexual activity at all costs.

3)   Self-interests stimulators.

in Christ, these get changed from:

1)   Wanting love from crowd to loving God toward group.

2)   Selfish sexual pleasure to Christlike creativity.

3)   Self-centered drive to other centered, innovative persuaders.

The old things have passed and become new.
