A New Creation

 I've been a follower of Jesus for many, many years but still remember the day I repented and started following him. 

I knew my life had changed even though I didn't quite understand the how or the why except I knew Jesus had died for me.

I read, at some point, 3 Corinthians 5:17 and there it was - the how and why and I now stood - a new creation. All the old things had passed away, the smoking, drinking, swearing. I'd become a new person.

I began going to church, meeting other believers and sang with great enthusiasm one of the first choruses I heard ...

I am a new creation,                                No more in condemnation,                 Here in the grace of God I stand

I am still standing today thanks to the one who went to Calvary and died that I might be saved and set free. Thankyou Jesus.
