No matter if you’ve been in church all your life or if you’re new in church, you still must be baptized.
First thing that happens when you start your new life, is to start your new life
1. putting away the old.
2 Corinthians 5:17/
The way you act, talk, behavior and the way you look at people becomes NEW- ALL things! Past is forgiven! From the east is your west all sins are forgiven! Your family and friends won’t forget it but God HAS forgiven you! Don’t listen to them! Listen to the Lord because He has given you a new life, new beginning! Grace is amazing! Grace is supernatural and can only flow from the One above!
New identity! A new start over! A New Name is written down in Glory! This means you are changed completly!!!
Your Name is in that Book of Life!! They should make you excited!! You are a calming FREE! He changed you! Act like it! You’re not identified through your old life you’re identified as One of His children, washed as white as snow, all the darkness is gone, the blood of Jesus has touched your life and you should feel it! You get new eyes once you’ve been set free! You see life from a different perspective. Ezekiel 36:26-27/John 10:27/ you’re going to know His voice! He’ll speak to you and you’ll know His voice ! When God takes something away from you, He will give you something better!!
John 3:5-7/Jesus was talking to Nicodemus.
2. Your carnal life becomes spiritual. This is an absolute change. We live in the spirit, because everything changes when you become a new creation. You do t walk under the power of this world, you receive power from the Holy Spirit. You do t have to sin everyday. We do slip up? Yes! Don’t do the same thing over and over again— Grace isn’t supposed to be stretched out like , you can do whatever you want to do, God didn’t send His Son on the cross-to bleed and get beaten, for you to live however you want to! We are supposed to be Holy because He is Holy! Once you are saved, you are a society and the carnal man is dead-Romans 8:6-7/ you can have peace.
3. Earthly life becomes heavenly.
John 3:12-13/ your outlook changes once you become a new creation.
Store up treasures in heaven.
Matthew 6:19-22/ “treasure” is there your heart will be also. When you give God your heart you’ll have more goals and dreams and desires redirected to God. It won’t be about you, it’ll be about others. Moved from earthly to heavenly desires once your saved and start that new life in Christ.
