Have you ever read a Bible verse that completely changed the way you think and live? In this episode of Connecting Faith and Life with Mister Brown, I’m sharing the fourth verse in our series, 5 Bible Verses That Have Changed My Life.
This verse has to do with the complete transformation that takes place when we trust Christ as our Savior.
YOU WILL NEVER BE THE SAME!
Just as a caterpillar undergoes a radical change to become a butterfly, Christians are transformed from their old selves to a new life in Christ. Dive deeper into 2 Corinthians 5:17 to embrace your new identity and live out your faith.

Bible Verse:
2 Corinthians 5:11-17
A caterpillar goes through a transformation to become a butterfly. Similar to this transformation, you must fundamentally change to become a new creation in Christ. The old self passes away, and the new self is revealed.
“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
Reflection and Application
As a believer, you are no longer the old person you used to be but a new creation in Christ. You do not have to be stuck on the past.
The Apostle Paul experienced a transformation. Not only did his name change from Saul to Paul, but his entire identity changed. Instead of being a Pharisee and persecutor of Christians, people regarded him as a brother in Christ.
Despite others' perceptions of you and your past mistakes, you can live as a new creation in Christ.
You are defined by the work of Christ rather than your past. God knows your true identity, so believe and walk in that new identity. Focus on your growth and sanctification.
"Live for God by connecting faith and life."
