The New You

What does God say about you as a believer?

You are not condemned!
'There is therefore no condemnation for those
who are in Christ Jesus.' (Rom 8:1)

You are free from the law of sin and death
'For the law of the Spirit of Life has set you
free from the law of sin and death.'
(Rom 8:2)

You are Sanctified (holy and set apart)
'To the church that is in Corinth, to those
sanctified in Christ, called to be saints...'
(1Cor 1:2)
(Notice that Paul is addressing a church whose
performance left much to be desired.)

You are the righteousness of God
'For our sake he made him to be sin who
knew no sin so that in him we might become
the righteousness of God.' (2Cor 5:21)

You were created for good performance (and I
can let Christ live in me to perform it.)
'For we are his workmanship, created in
Christ Jesus for good works, which God
prepared beforehand, that we should walk
in them.' (Eph 2:10

You are complete (perfect)
'For in Him the whole fullness of deity dwells
bodily, and you have been filled in him.'
(Col 2:9,10)

You are raised up with Him
'If then you have been raised up with Christ,
seek the things above...'(Col 3:1)

Your life is hidden with Christ in God
'For you have died, and your life is hidden with
Christ in God. (Col 3:3)
