Day 3 – Made New

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

Following Jesus is not about becoming a better version of your old self.
It is about becoming someone new.
When you come to Christ, something deeper than behavior changes. God begins a work on the inside. Your spirit is made new, your identity is restored, and your life starts moving in a different direction.
The past may still try to speak. Old habits may still try to pull you back. But they no longer define who you are.
You are not who you were.
God does not see you through your past—He sees you through what Christ has done.
This new life is not something you must achieve. It is something you learn to walk in, day by day.
You don’t have to go back.
You are already made new.

Am I still identifying with my past, or am I living as someone made new?

Father, thank You that in Christ I am a new creation.
Help me to let go of my past and walk in the life You have given me.
Teach me to see myself the way You see me.
Amen.
