The Old Creation and New Creation: Part 1
John 17:17 “Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth.”
John 14.6 says “Jesus is the truth”
The Word is the Truth and Jesus Himself is the Truth. Our beliefs should be based on God’s Word because it is the ultimate truth. We must base our faith on these unchangeable Facts and not on our feelings. We must align our feelings on these facts with the help of the Holy Spirit. We have euphemised ‘sin’ to be just ‘human errors’ or ‘mistakes’. But in God’s eyes, they are plain sin.
The first eight chapters of the book of Romans talks about sin.
The first sin was that of Adam and the nature that we all have because of that is ‘Sin’ (singular). ‘Sins’ (plural) are the things that we do against God’s commands. Both of these had different solutions.
For ‘sin’, Jesus died on the cross. For our ‘sins’, Jesus’ blood was spilled.
This sin nature influences our whole life and takes us to eternal death. But our sins affects our conscience and our relationship wth God. When we understand this, we can properly enjoy salvation.
Our past or our ‘sin’ is already dealt with and is buried with Christ. Our spirit is fully saved.
But in the present, we are hidden in Christ (Colossians 3:3). Because of this, there are changes happening to us; it is the renewing of our minds. Our future will be revealed in Christ (1 John 3:2). At this time, we will receive a new body. This is how our salvation is complete, and Jesus is able to save us completely. If we know this fact, we will be strong and not fall.
Acts 2:38-40 “Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39 The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off—for all whom the Lord our God will call.” 40 With many other words he warned them; and he pleaded with them, “Save yourselves from this corrupt generation.””
Each person should individually repent in the name of Jesus and with this, we receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. This is for all people; not just a select few. The conclusion of Peter’s message was to save yourself from this corrupt generation.
Salvation is not just a rescue from eternal condemnation; it is also required of us to escape this corrupt generation.
Philippians 2:14-15 “Do everything without grumbling or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, “children of God without fault in a warped and crooked generation.”Then you will shine among them like stars in the sky”
Even here, we see that children of God must also be saved and separate from the crooked generation. In the midst of a corrupt world, we must stand apart.
What God created in the beginning got corrupted due to Adam’s sin. God’s first creation fell to corruption, decay and curses. Satan worked behind it and deceived Eve and the result was that the snake, Soman, man and the earth were subject to curses.
Satan then declared himself as ruler of this fallen world (1 John 5:19 “We know that we are children of God, and that the whole world is under the control of the evil one.”). That is why we are not to imitate the worldly system (cosmos) controlled by satan. In conclusion, salvation is to come out of the system that is controlled by satan.
But God is making all things new.
Right now there are 2 creations.
The first is the species that fell when Adam sinned.
The second is the new creation.
2 Corinthians 5:17 “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come:The old has gone, the new is here!”
Salvation happens when an old creation becomes a new creation. We know the revelation that there exists two worlds, two creations, two kingdoms.
God’s original plan was for all to come under the headship of Jesus.
Colossians 1:16-17 “16 For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him. 17 He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.”
Jesus is the head of all things. But the devil corrupted the world and created his own system which includes the political, economic, cultural and entertainment systems. This is what we see in the world now. However, the Father is making all things new.
