A New Creation
I admire people who have artistic abilities. I was amazed how Bob Ross had mastered this ability. He made it look so easy. In minutes he could turn a blank canvas into this breathtaking scene. The first painting he did on TV is listed at $9.85 million.
I want to say one day, but we know before there was time, God was. He is the eternal I AM. Anyway, one day, God decided to create something new, the universe. What a creation it is. At dusk yesterday, Monika and I took a ride on the golf cart around our property. There, standing eye to eye with us was this beautiful deer. We were just feet apart and we spent minutes just staring at each another. A little bit further down the path there was this rabbit that just sat there and looked at us. We paused and appreciated that encounter.
Imagine, God makes us into a New Creation, when we trust Jesus as our Savior. He looks at us and sees someone new. The Bible says old things are passed away and all things have become new. We have become something that we were not before. Our sins have been forgiven and we were given a new identity, His adopted child. How awesome is that! One day that transformation will be completed. One day God will even create a new heaven and earth, where there will be only peace and joy.
“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!” 2 Corinthians 5:17 NIV
