Creature

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

But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.   1 Peter 2:9-10

The true light that gives light to everyone was coming into the world. He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him. He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him. Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God— children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God.   John 1:9-13

no longer the same,

no longer a slave

of this flesh driven body,

no longer a victim,

no longer trapped

by fear and death,

something different;

a new creation;

born of the spirit,

a foreigner,

walking in a foreign land,

a child of light,

called out from the darkness,

a chosen vessel;

a son of God;

let me walk in Your

holy righteousness,

teach me how to grow,

fill me with Your endless love;

guide my steps down the paths

which lead me home

to You.
