Living the New Life
Rasol Manouchehri Ardakani - 07 September 2025
“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!”
When we put our faith in Jesus, everything changes. We are not just forgiven, we are made new. This is more than a fresh start, it is a brand-new identity.
Paul reminds us in 2 Corinthians 5:17 that the old has gone and the new is here. That means we no longer have to live under the weight of past mistakes, shame, or fear. We get to live with the confidence that we are children of God, loved, chosen, and called.
Living the new life is not about perfection, it is about direction. It is about choosing each day to walk in God’s ways. Some days will be easier than others, but every day is an opportunity to let His light shine through us.
I have met people who carry such peace and joy that you cannot help but notice. It is not because their lives are trouble-free, but because they have learnt to live in the reality of who they are in Christ. Their hope is not tied to circumstances, but to the unchanging goodness of God.
When we live as new creations, it impacts the people around us. Our kindness can lift someone’s spirit. Our patience can calm a tense situation. Our words can point someone to Jesus. Transformation is never just for us, it is so the world can see the difference Christ makes.
So, live the new life boldly. Let the fruit of the Spirit flow out of you. Walk in forgiveness, speak life, and love deeply. You are not who you used to be. The new has come, and it is beautiful.
Prayer of the Day:
Father, thank You for making me a new creation in Christ. Help me to live in the fullness of this new life, so others can see Your love through me. Amen.
