[The Glory Unveiled]
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come. [ 2 Corinthians 5:17 NIV ]
New years are often marked by celebrations, declarations, and resolutions. We cross over at midnight and assume that because the calendar has changed, life has changed too. But the truth is this: life does not become new simply because we entered a new year and wished the old one away.Newness does not work like that. The kind of newness that unlocks every other new beginning is not seasonal—it is positional. It does not come by wishes, affirmations, or desire alone. It comes by conscious choice. When a person chooses Jesus—when they believe in His finished work and stand in the provision secured by that work—then, and only then, the old truly passes away and the new comes to stay. Scripture declares that if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. This new creation is not a metaphor; it is a spiritual reality. In Christ, we are recreated after His image, and the very life of Jesus is expressed through the man or woman who comes into Him. The old does not pass away because we crossed into a new year. It passes away because we are positioned in Christ. Without Christ, a new year is only a new date—not a new life. You may enter January 1st, but if you are not in Christ, you have not entered newness. Jesus is the mechanic of newness. He alone has the power to replace the old with the new. Welcome Him into your life, stand in what He has finished, and you will experience a newness that no calendar change can produce—and no season can take away.
