1 Corinthians 6:9-11 Don’t you realize that those who do wrong will not inherit the Kingdom of God? Don’t fool yourselves. Those who indulge in sexual sin, or who worship idols, or commit adultery, or are male prostitutes, or practice homosexuality, or are thieves, or greedy people, or drunkards, or are abusive, or cheat people—none of these will inherit the Kingdom of God. Some of you were once like that. But you were cleansed; you were made holy; you were made right with God by calling on the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.
Everyone has the sinful Adamic nature until we are born again (spiritual regeneration) through faith in Jesus Christ. We sinned and did ungodly things because of our nature, but now we have a new nature; the old sinful nature is gone. We have a new nature, not the old nature that is better. We are brand new; a new creation in Christ. The old sinful life has passed away. You said bye bye to the old you and hello to the new you. You used to do the ungodly things that those in the world do, but now you are in the kingdom of God and of Christ. You now have the seed (or life) of Christ in you because the want to do the ungodly things is no longer there. You may remember the so-called “fun,” you had and your flesh may desire those old things, but in your new created spirit there is a desire to please God. The want to sin with no convictions is gone. Hallelujah! You are free from the power of sin in your life. You are a new creation. You are reborn to win in life. Bye bye to the old, welcome to the new you that always win in Christ Jesus.
Prayer- Father, I can’t thank you enough for your forgiveness. I know I was a sinner, bound to death and Hell, but you gave your son Jesus to die as my substitute. It should have been me on that cross, but because of your love for me you allowed your son, Jesus, to take my place on the cross. He was innocent and I was a guilty sinner, but now, because of him, I am a new creation. I thank you for your grace that made me a new creation with a heart desire to please you. Father, I boldly say bye-bye to the old sinful ways and hello to the new godly winning life!
