Identity in Yeshua- "I am a new creature"

In order to be something new it means that something else has to die, In order for You to become a new creation it means your old self has to die. (Luke 9:23) Imagine having to die daily just so you can live? The ironic part is that many of us are in-fact already dead, in our soul, our spirit, in our thoughts, actions, behaviors, etc. We may be physically alive but we are all dead when we are separated from God. Because our very design and creation wasn't meant to live apart from Him.

"Carry your cross"; a cross being an instrument of death. What is your instrument of death? Is it traumas you hold onto, toxic behaviors and thoughts, is it addictions, your tongue, false beliefs you hold about yourself and others, is it surface level indulgences, insecurities or maybe its avoidance of anything uncomfortable. What is your cross?

Jesus said, " I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live." (John 11:25)

He is the living God that entered the flesh and conquered its death. So when we allow Him to enter our lives, our flesh, He too conquers our death and brings us back to life; mentally, physically, spiritually. We no longer WANT to live for ourselves but for Him. Living for ourselves is what brought us to our death after all; feeling empty, lacking value & purpose. Consumed with ourselves, living for ourselves, seeking our own avenues of revenge, happiness, desires, wants, pleasures. Yet it always leads back t the feeling of emptiness. Non of the above includes God or His will, it only involves us. When we are consumed with ourselves we cannot see the "bigger picture" we become weighted down by our cross. This is why we are to surrender it at the feet of our saviour. The saying "no one is coming to save you" is accurate because its already been done! We just have to realize it, we have to be willing to die to ourselves and be made new; brought back to life by Jesus/Yeshua and begin to live in alignment with His will and way. The one who knows all and sees all, whom created all.

Are you a new creation?

Are you willing to surrender the old for the new?

Is your life serving you or are you serving it?
