The Newness of Spirit Podcast

In this episode we introduce living in the New Creation, and Romans 6 gives us the way in!  Since we are in Christ, everything that happens to Him happens to us.  He was crucified, so we are dead.  He was raised, and we walk in newness of life!  This is where the New Creation begins to manifest in our mortal flesh.  

We have been learning that we are in Christ.  But if we are in the New Creation, then Christ is also in us!  And He wants to live in us!

Our identity comes from seeing Christ in whom we are, not seeing ourselves in Christ!  In this episode, we look at two passages of Scripture that show this to be true.

In the New Creation is a new fellowship in which we partake of the Life of the Son!

We are in Christ!  Whatever happened to Jesus, happened to us.  Being in Christ does not depend on what we know; it depends on what the Father did in His Son.

The communion between the Father and the Son have had for all eternity has been opened to us.  Let's enter in!

In this series, we will be searching on the New Creation in Christ.  Today we take a close look at II Corinthians 5:17.  What has passed away?  What - or Who - is now living?  What is the quality of that life?  And where is it found?  

How believers appear to one another is a big driving force for many.  As a soul embarks on knowing the Crucified Christ, the outward appearance is left behind, and the believer may not look as good as before.  If he or she makes their stand in Christ and give the Spirit a chance, Christ will be formed within and a new image will emerge!

The Jews had Scripture, ritual, and culture mixed in with their faith in Jesus.  How necessary was it, then, that they comprehend the Cross?  

What the flesh clings to and values, the Lord has no interest in.  Paul presents a beautiful example of how Christ living in a believer overcomes the social tendencies and pulls of the flesh.  Instead, others are drawn to Jesus!
