New Verses Old

Obviously, a big part of being made a new creature is living a new life. I don't know why anyone would want to continue being bound by old stuff when newness has been provided for us. We have to train ourselves to live by the new power source of the Holy Spirit. We have been so accustomed to forcing our way along in the energy of the flesh. We have to feed ourselves with the new information that is found in God's word. It's so easy to continue living by CNN, the opinions of friends and other information that's a part of the old system. Then, one of the hardest things for people to do is to become surrounded with new relationships. Old friends that are familiar with old patterns and want you to be your old self cause many down falls. The healthiest relationships for the new creature are other new creatures. The accountability and encouragement that come from the people of God are essential to the new life. To experience newness means using new tools. Once walking through the gate we must walk the narrow way. The new life is found on the new path. Have a great day with the Spirit of God, the word of God and the people of God.
