2 Corinthians 5; Romans 6&7

Hallelujah, I am in Christ, therefore I am a new creation. The old has passed away, behold the new has come. All this is from God, my father, through Christ.

I have a new nature, a divine nature. For now he dwells in this old fleshy body. But each day I reckon myself dead to my flesh and alive in God’s Spirit.

I have died to the law of sin and death through the body of Christ, so that I now belong to Christ Jesus, my Lord. He is my Lord and Savior, and he has been raised from the dead in order that I may bear the fruit of God.

By your life, Lord Jesus, I am released from the law so that I serve in the new way of the Spirit and no longer in the old way of a written code.

By your grace, Lord Jesus, I have a new nature. Now for a short time my new nature is incarcerated in this old flesh. So sometimes I do not do the things I want to do, and sometimes I do the very things I don’t want to do.

But now I realize it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells in me. For I know that nothing good dwells in me, that is in my flesh. But in my new nature I do delight in the law of my Lord, and I am delivered from this body of death by the life and resurrection of Jesus Christ, my Lord.
