John 1:12-13 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
When we talk about the new creation, we are referring to the born again believer in Christ. We are talking about the man whose spirit has been recreated and imparted with the life and nature of God. The new creation is the man whose spirit has come alive to God and he is in oneness with Him.
I believe the revelation of the new creation is what will change the church of Jesus Christ.

You have to make it your top priority to learn all you can about the new creation.

If God had wanted to judge and punish us for our sins, He would not have sent a Saviour but a judge. But the good news is that God sent His beloved Son to die as a sacrifice for sins on the cross by a criminal and shameful death, the just for the unjust.
Unfortunately, if you listen to what some folks preach, it is as if God is out to mark every sin of yours and deal with you. Some even say that, in heaven, God will play your whole life of sin on a screen for you to see. Scripture says, your sins and lawless deeds, I will remember no more (Hebrews 8:12). How can you play something that has not been stored? God does not have drive space to store your sins. Then why the cross and the blood of Jesus?
