A NEW CREATION IN CHRIST

A Life Altering Transformation
II Corinthians 5:17



 

  1. JUSTIFICATION---A change of STANDING BEFORE God (Romans 3:24-26)
  2. REGENERATION---A change of NATURE FROM God (Titus 3:5)
  3. REPENTANCE---A change of MIND ABOUT God (Acts 17:30)
  4. CONVERSION---A change of LIFE FOR God (Acts 26:18)
  5. ADOPTION---A change of FAMILY IN God (Galatians 4:5-7)
  6. SANCTIFICATION---A change of SERVICE UNTO God (Hebrews 10:10,14; I Peter 1:15,16)
  7. GLORIFICATION---A change of PLACE WITH God (Romans 8:11,30; Philippians 1:6.)

This is all based on Christ's work for us:

  1. REDEMPTION---To purchase us unto God (I Timothy 2:5,6; Romans 3:24.)
  2. RECONCILIATION---To bring us together with God (II Corinthians 5:19; Ephesians 2:14-18.)
  3. PROPITIATION---To appease God's wrath against us, because of our sin, and to actually care for sin. (I John 2:2; Romans 3:25.)

 

Jesus Paid it all, all to Him I owe,
Sin had left a crimson stain,
He washed it white as snow.

And when before the throne, I stand in Him complete,
"Jesus died my soul to save", my lips shall still repeat,
Jesus paid it all, all to Him I owe,
Sin had left a crimson stain, He washed it white as snow.
