There is a profound and foundational truth we need to grasp as believers in Jesus Christ: When we were saved, something radical happened. We were not just given the way to heaven, no, we were made new. There’s just something about the risen life.

In our previous message, we learned that we need to:

• Seek the things above with all your heart.
• Slay the sins that entangle you.
• Stop the old patterns of behavior that belong to your former life.

In this message we will see how we have:

• Something to Start
• Something to Settle
• Something to Surrender

The Bible says in II Corinthians 5:17, “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.”

In Colossians 3:10, the Apostle Paul declares this transformation clearly: “And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him.” Paul is not just giving us theology to ponder here; he is laying out a powerful challenge.

You have put on the new man—now start living like it! Start acting like the new creation God has made you to be.

This is where the battle begins, isn’t it? We know we have been made new in Christ, but too often we still live like the old person. We fall back into sinful habits, we let worldly desires dictate our decisions, and we forget that we have been given a new nature, a nature that longs to serve God in righteousness.
