When a plant grows from a SEED……..IT’S A MIRACLE.
Do they look the same? No
Are they the same colour? No
Do they smell the same? This plant is a NEW CREATION

2 Corinthians 5:17 “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.”
If you are a Christian, you are a new creation. This means you used to be an Old Creation.
When you were an old creation…………
• You were an unbeliever, you did not believe in God
• You were dead in your sins and you followed the ways of this world and the devil.

Ephesians 2:1 “As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins, in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the Kingdom of the air.”
In some villages, they hold ceremonies to try and find out who the witch doctor is???? If that village does not know Jesus, they and the witch doctor are all the same.
When you were an old creation…………
• You were heading for Hell!
• You gratified the desire of your flesh!
• Some people say, they are OK…….NO……You were an enemy of God
• You did not rely on God, but on your own strength

NOW WE NEED TO UNDERSTAND HOW YOU WERE TRANSFORMED FROM BEING AN OLD CREATION TO BECOME A NEW CREATION.
When we look at the seed……it became a plant, and we know God does it, but we may have to read our “O” Level Science books to get exact information……..that would be our text book. In the same way, it’s important for us to understand how you became a New creation….. because you used to be an old creation.
We all have sinned and did not deserve to be God’s children.
Romans 3:23 “For all have sinned and have fallen short of the glory of God.”
• If being right with God was dependant on our good works – none of us would be children of God!
• Now in the Old Testament the Israelites had to keep many laws, e.g. in Exodus, Leviticus, as well as the ten commandments so that they could be right with God.
• When they failed, they had to sacrifice animals often, a lamb without a spot/wrinkle for the forgiveness of their sins…….
• They had to keep the law to be righteous before God
