A NEW CREATION IN CHRIST 2 COR 5:17-21

Can a person change?

ROM 5:20 The law was added so that the trespass might increase. But where sin increased, grace increased all the more,

QUOTE The Bible tells us that where sin abounds, grace much more abounds. Much more. It’s not an equal force to stop an equal force. The promise is that grace abounds much more than our sin. God’s grace overruns sin and drives it back out of our lives. Eddie Snipes, Abounding Grace, (Kindle Locations ).

QUOTE Bad behavior happens when we fail to believe that everything we need, in Christ we already have; it happens when we fail to believe in the rich provisional resources that are already ours in the gospel. Tullian Tchividjian, Jesus + Nothing = Everything, p. 171.

QUOTE Conversely, good behavior happens when we daily rest in and receive the finished work of Christ in deeper and deeper ways, smashing any sense of need to secure for ourselves anything beyond what Christ has already secured for us. Tullian Tchividjian, Jesus + Nothing = Everything, p. 171.

A NEW MAN 2 COR 5:17

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!

2 COR 5:16 So from now on we regard no one from a worldly point of view. Though we once regarded Christ in this way, we do so no longer.

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

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

1 COR 1:2 To the church of God in Corinth, to those sanctified in Christ Jesus and called to be holy, together with all those everywhere who call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ--their Lord and ours:

2 COR 1:1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, To the church of God in Corinth, together with all the saints throughout Achaia:

2 COR 10:5 We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.

A NEW MINISTRY 2 COR 5:18- 20

2 COR 5:18 All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation:

2 COR 5:19 that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting men's sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation.

2 COR 5:20 We are therefore Christ's ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ's behalf: Be reconciled to God.

A NEW MEANS 2 COR 5:21

God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.

1 PET 1:18 For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you from your forefathers,

1 PET 1:19 but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect.

QUOTE Paul is not saying, “Better make sure you’re a real Christian.” It doesn’t work like that. In the old covenant, the high priest examined the sacrificial lamb, not the one who brought it. In the new covenant, Christ is your Lamb without blemish or defect (1 Pet. 1: 19). Paul is saying examine Him. See yourself as tested and approved in Him. Paul Ellis, The Hyper-Grace Gospel, (pp )

2 COR 5:21 God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.

QUOTE A Christian is not trying to overcome sin. A Christian has already overcome sin. The only thing we can do is invite it back into our lives, where it has no power or dominion other than what we give to it.... Eddie Snipes, Abounding Grace, (Kindle Locations ).

QUOTE Since the strength of sin is the law, anyone submitting back under the law is giving power to sin. Grace strips sin of its power, and those under grace have no fear of sin. Eddie Snipes, Abounding Grace, (Kindle Locations ).
