“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.” II Corinthians 5:17 KJV Once you know Christ as Savior, you are a new creature. Your spirit is quickened (made alive), giving birth to a new nature – a holy nature, one just like Christ’s. Your old sin nature is no longer the controlling force in your life. You now have…
“Who is wise, and he shall understand these things? prudent, and he shall know them? for the ways of the LORD are right, and the just shall walk in them: but the transgressors shall fall therein.” Hosea 14:9 KJV God’s ways are always right, and those that do right according to God’s word (the just) will walk in His ways.
