Living Out the NEW You
God explains the realities of the spiritual world in which we live.
Each time we look into the Bible, we are immersed in reality, not entertainment.
For years, Americans have marveled at the entertainment of shows like Extreme Makeover & Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.
In both shows, audiences in the millions witnessed unbelievable transformations of people’s appearances and homes.
That was entertainment. Here is the reality.
People can entertain us, but only God can transform us.
God the Extreme Transformer
God Himself has always been involved in the extreme transformation business.
Since the Garden of Eden and mankind’s fall into our:
desperately warped,
hopelessly twisted,
Totally ruined condition of sin:
God has been transforming individuals from the inside out.
Some of His most amazing people-transforming makeovers are well known to us from the Scriptures: Enoch, Noah, Abraham, Sarah, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, Joshua, Rahab, Ruth, and David, for example.
Each of those and other Old and New Testament saints was completely changed and lived out that change across the pages of Scripture to the degree that they surrendered and cooperated with God’s work within them.
They were each new people in old bodies.
New People in Old Bodies
At the moment of salvation, we became a new person.
We were born again like a baby with no past, only a future.
We became children in God’s family with a bright, new, endless, and secure future.
Our past sins were all erased.
Our present and future sins were also forever stricken from our account.
That means that salvation gives us an entirely new identity.
Salvation: Our New Identity
