2 Corinthians 5:17. (New English) When anyone is united to
Christ, there is a new world;
the old order has gone, and a new order has already begun.
(He’ring) So that if anyone is a new creature in Christ, the old
order has passed,
and, behold, a new world has arisen.
(Stanley) If anyone has entered into fellowship with Christ, a new
world has at once
opened upon him; an old world has passed away....
(Doddridge) ...[there is] a new creation in the heart of that
man...he is brought
as it were into another world, and is himself quite a different creature
than
he was before.
Confession:
My spirit has been born from above and has entered into participation in the realm above.
I have entered the kingdom--the realm or reign--of God (John 3:3-6).
I am in union with Christ who has been raised and seated in that spiritual realm.
Therefore I myself am in that new realm, that heavenly region, that new world.
In that new world, everything is new and everything is already mine.
I am learning to live out of my spirit, out of that new world, out of heaven’s inexhaustible
supply of Life, power, love, and glory.
I’m in a new world!
