This is something I have enjoyed writing and then tweaking a little through time! The New Me, The True Me... In Christ! "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 "I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and delivered Himself up for me." -Galatians 2:20 I was spiritually dead; now I am live. - Eph 2:1,4-5; Rom 6:11 I was in Adam; now I am in Christ. - Rom 5:14-18; I Cor 15:22,45; II Cor 5:16,17 I was alive to sin; now I am dead to sin. - Rom 6:2,11 I was, by nature, a child of wrath, walking in trespasses and sins; now I am His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works. Eph. 2:1,3,10 I was essentially earthly; now I am seated with Christ in the heavenly realm. - John 3:3; Eph 2:1,5,6; II Cor 5:16; Col 3:1-4 I was in the flesh, now I am in the Spirit. Rom 8:9; 7:5 Now my life is hidden; one day I will be revealed (when He returns and is revealed). Col 3:3,4 The old man was alive; now the old man is dead. Rom 6:2-4,6,8 It was I (my true self) that sinned; now it is no longer I that sins, but rather sin that dwells in me. Rom 7:17,20; II Cor 5:17,18 I was under condemnation; now there is no condemnation. Rom 8:1 I was under the authority of darkness; now I have been transferred to the kingdom of God's son. Col 1:13 I was slave to sin; now I have been set free (I used to have to sin; now I don't have to sin.). Rom 6:6-7,14,17; 8:1-4,12,13 I was powerless to live righteously; now I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Rom 8:8; Phil 4:13 "For in Him all the fullness of Deity dwells in bodily form, and in Him you have been made complete." Col 2:10,11 "Little children, let no one deceive you; the one who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous……As He is, so also are we in this world." I John 3:7; 4:17 "I am the Vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me, and I in him, he bears much fruit; for apart from Me you can do nothing." John 15:5
