Herald of Maranatha:
Fresh From God
Topic: How old are you? (Discipleship)
Colossians 3:10 KJV
And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:
How old are you?
This is a frequent question in our daily life. Since you were born into the world everyone expects you to keep getting older.
On the contrary what happens since you became born again, is how young are you?
2 Corinthians 4:16 KJV
For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.
The outward man grows older tending towards being destroyed at last, but the inward man is constantly renewed unto eternal life.
This is the secret behind a consistent Christian life.
It began from becoming a new creature.
2 Corinthians 5:17 KJV
Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
This newness and freshness in Christ is expected to be kept constant till the end. The mind needs to be constantly renewed for a consistent Christian life.
Romans 12:2 KJV
And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
Remember, the first birth into the world is where you grow older, but the second birth into Christ is where we should be constantly renewed. From the above text, the more you conform to the world the more you grow old in the mind that is meant to be constantly renewed. This is what introduces gradual spiritual weakness.
1 John 2:15 KJV
Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
The more you love the world, the more you hate God's word, the more sinful you become and sin is what makes your Newman old and requires a Renewal. This is the for quick backsliding, and the constant renewal is the of continuous daily sanctification.
How do you get renewed?
By constantly feeding on the word of God.
The new man is free from sin.
1 John 3:9 KJV
Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.
Renew yourself daily by keeping the seed (word of God) alive in you.
A renewed man is always on point, never unprepared.
Now can answer this question?
How new are you?
Life application
Get out of daily struggle with sin, get into a daily spiritual renewal by the word of God. Keep your daily quite-time alive, not just as a daily routine but a means for daily revitalization. Be always fresh in Christ.
