2 CORINTHIANS 5:17
‘If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come’.

1. Your STATUS has changed.

GALATIANS 3:26-27
26 So in Christ Jesus you are all children of
God through faith, 27 for all of you who were
baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves
with Christ.

 

JOHN 14:1-3
1 “Do not let your hearts be troubled; believe in God, believe also in
Me. 2 “In My Father’s house are many dwelling places; if it were not
so, I would have told you; for I go to prepare a place for you. 3 “If I go
and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to
Myself, that where I am, there you may be also.’

PHILIPPIANS 3:17-21
17 Join together in following my example, brothers and sisters, and just
as you have us as a model, keep your eyes on those who live as we do.
18 For, as I have often told you before and now tell you again even with
tears, many live as enemies of the cross of Christ. 19 Their destiny is
destruction, their god is their stomach, and their glory is in their shame.
Their mind is set on earthly things. 20 But our citizenship is in
heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus
Christ, 21 who, by the power that enables him to bring everything under
his control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his
glorious body.

2. Your THINKING should change.

PHILIPPIANS 3:18-19
18 For, as I have often told you before and now tell you again
even with tears, many live as enemies of the cross of Christ.
19 Their destiny is destruction, their god is their stomach, and
their glory is in their shame. Their mind is set on earthly
things.

 

1 PETER 2:11-12
11 Beloved, I urge you as aliens and pilgrims to
abstain from the desires of the flesh that wage war
against the soul.
