NEW CREATIONS

“Blessed is the God that forgets my sins of yesterday”.  Those were the words of my classmate Samuka. Through lengthy deliberations and discussion, I can say we almost meditated; I personally stumbled on this overwhelming quality of God, Grace. Often we let our associates do things to a tolerable level. There are certain limits that, even with whichever intervention, we cannot go beyond, since practically that would be going over the top. As humans we reach a breaking point that we can no longer stomach anything that comes our way. What comes after that breaking point is resentment, anger, enmity which dissociates us.

Well, enough of that, that’s human nature.  Our God is a complete opposite of what we are. He always shows us love, even when we really do not deserve. That is the overwhelming quality I am talking about. Contrary to humans, as you sin more, and you repent, He forgives more. “Where sin is, grace abounds more”, let me continue reiterating my friend’s God given wisdom.  What we need to know more is that you are never lost in sin, you can be redeemed. God does not focus on someone who is saved and sins but He is more delighted to see one surfacing from sin and does the little good he can.

God is patient with sinners. You cannot be told about Christian’s teachings and transform instantaneously. It is all about stages to your full recreation. There are many dimensions in one’s life and each time one gets changed for the better in a certain aspect of life, then that is a creation in the eyes of the Lord. When other aspects follow suit, there will come a period in time that you will be fully recreated and that is treading the way of righteousness.

People are ignorant since they lack knowledge. For a full formation into a righteous Christian then one has to be equipped with knowledge.  Take this instance, when you are sold an electronic gadget, you are always given a manual with which you refer first before you start using it. You do not tamper first with gadget until you get stuck somewhere is when you remember about the manual. The same analogy applies to us as Christians. When God created us and gave us a freedom of choice, of course he would not have just let us loose. We were equipped with the word. It is from the bible that we siphon knowledge that helps us make right choices in life.

If you make a wrong choice and you suffer the consequence that is not punishment from God. Rather it is a consequence of your bad choice. Get equipped with the word of the lord. From there we will never lead a blind life but rather walk under the light of the lord. We are creations of the Lord and each day we do something in his Glory we get recreated.
