Confused
Every born-again believer has undergone a complete inner transformation. “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ” (2 Cor. 5:17-18). Notice how it doesn’t say that “all things are becoming new” or “have the potential of being new.” This verse declares “old things have passed (past tense) away,” “all things have become (present tense—reality right now) new,” and “all things are of God.”
If you don’t understand spirit, soul, and body, you’re instantly set up for confusion, frustration, and ultimately unbelief when you see a verse like this. After reading about a total change and all things being of God, you look at your body and immediately start wondering because it hasn’t passed away or become brand new.
If you were overweight before receiving the Lord, that didn’t change the moment you got saved!
A time will come when you’ll receive a glorified body, but that hasn’t happened yet. “For this corruptible must put on in-corruption, and this mortal must put on immortality”
(1 Cor. 15:53). Although Christ’s atonement provided for you physically, your body has not yet been saved. It’s been purchased, but not yet redeemed.
