A New Creature

by Vonette Bright

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.� 2 Corinthians 5:17

Ruthless violence. Lavish lifestyle. Those words once described Jorge Valdes (HORE-hay val-DEEZ), a former Columbian drug lord.

His recent message to drug policy makers, ambassadors and top military officers in Washington, D.C., was surprising.  He spoke of “coming clean� and finding a new life through a dramatic personal encounter with Jesus Christ.  Even the FBI agents who tracked and jailed him agree he’s truly been transformed by Christ.  Amazing!

You may think you’re without hope … that you’ll never change.  But the Bible says otherwise.  The Bible assures us:  “If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold. all things have become new!�
Cling to that truth today, dear one.  Christ can transform you.  Ask Him to.  Trust in Him alone.  And say goodbye to that old self-serving you.

    Our heavenly Father, who is the most Intelligent Creator of the Universe, will transform anyone, who turns to Him through His Son Jesus, to become the First Adam who was given the dominion to subdue the World.

    So the one who is in Christ will be an Aide to Him to rule the New Heaven and Earth.

    An encouraging devotional. Thank you. Blessings.
