When you come to Christ, you become a new creation. Now that you are alive in Christ, start living for him!
Hi, I’m Joni with what I like to call my “butterfly Bible verse!” Second Corinthians 5 says, “If anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone… [and] the new is here!” Man, doesn’t that just sound like a butterfly? When a caterpillar dissolves itself inside its chrysalis, the old insect disappears. Absolutely nothing about that old caterpillar resembles the beautiful new butterfly that emerges from the chrysalis. True, the caterpillar and the butterfly share the exact same DNA, if you will, but apart from that? They are as different as night and day. And it’s the same for you when you come to Christ. You bear absolutely no resemblance to the old “you,” now that you are a new creation in Christ. You were dead in your sin back then, and now you are alive in Christ, so spread your wings and get flying onward and upward.
