HE MADE ALL THINGS, NEW
HE MADE ALL THINGS, NEW:
ARE WE, BECOMING, RELIGIOUS HYPOCRITIES?
GOD'S NATIONWIDE GLOBAL KINGDOM RENOWNED APOSTLE JAMES R, WINFREE, SR, I AM MANDATED BY THE LORD TO CULTIVATE, ENLIGHTEN, AND EMPOWER, GOD'S NATIONS SON'S AND DAUGHTERS IN HIS LOVE. KNOW THIS, I'M NOT IN THE WORK OR MINISTRY FOR ANY INCOME, BUT I AM IN GOD'S WORK AND MINISTRY TO HEAR HIM SAY, WELL DONE, THIS IS THE INCOME WE ARE LOOKING TO RECEIVE. GLORY TO GOD IN JESUS CHRIST.
THE LORD GOD, JESUS CHRIST, MADE ALL THINGS, NEW!
Isaiah 42:9
Behold, the former things have come to pass, And new things I declare; Before they spring forth I tell you of them.”
Hebrews 12:24
to Jesus the Mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks better things than that of Abel.
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.
Romans 6:4
Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in the newness of life
Romans 7:6
But now we have been delivered from the law, having died to what we were held by so that we should serve in the newness of the Spirit and not in the oldness of the letter.
The key to understanding the relationship between the Christ Believers and the Law is knowing that the Old Testament law was given to the nation of Israel, not to Christ Believers. Some of the laws were to reveal to the Israelites how to obey and please God (the Ten Commandments, for example). Some of the laws were to show the Israelites how to worship God and atone for sin (the sacrificial system). Some of the laws were intended to make the Israelites distinct from other nations (the food and clothing rules). None of the Old Testament law is binding on Christian churches today. When Jesus died on the cross, He put an end to the Old Testament law (Romans 10:4;) ( Galatians 3:23–25; ) ( Ephesians 2:15).
In place of the Old Testament Law, Christ Churches are under the Law of Christ (Galatians 6:2), which is to “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind…and to love your neighbor as yourself” (Matthew 22:37-39). If we obey those two commands, we will be fulfilling all that Christ requires of us: “All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments” (Matthew 22:40). Now, this does not mean the Old Testament law is irrelevant today. Many of the commands in the Old Testament law fall into the categories of “loving God” and “loving your neighbor.” The Old Testament law can be a good guidepost for knowing how to love God and what goes into loving your neighbor. At the same time, to say that the Old Testament law applies to Christ Believers today is incorrect. The Old Testament law is a unit ( James 2:10). Either all of it applies, or none of it applies. If Christ fulfilled some of it, such as the sacrificial system, He fulfilled all of it.
“This is love for God: to obey His commands. And his commands are not burdensome” (1 John 5:3). The Ten Commandments were essentially a summary of the entire Old Testament law. Nine of the Ten Commandments are repeated in the New Testament (All except the command to observe the Sabbath day). If we love God, we will not worship false gods or bow down before idols. If we love our neighbors, we will not murder them, lie to them, commit adultery against them, or covet what belongs to them. The purpose of the Old Testament law is to convict people of our inability to keep the law and point us to our need for Jesus Christ as Savior (Romans 7:7-9; Galatians 3:24). The Old Testament law was never intended by God to be the universal law for all people for all of the time. We are to love God and love our neighbors. If we obey those two commands faithfully, we will be upholding all that God requires of us.
Galatians 3:10
The Hebrews Law Brings a Curse
For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse; for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who does not continue in all things which are written in the book of the law, to do them.”
Hebrews 7:5
And indeed those who are of the sons of Levi, who receive the priesthood, have a commandment to receive tithes from the people According To The LAW, that is, from their brethren, though they have come from the loins of Abraham;
If you are going to teach, obey, keep, and follow the Law or Old Testament, you better do it All and Not some of it, or you will be CURSED BY GOD:
Amos 4:4
“Come to Bethel and transgress, At Gilgal multiply transgression; Bring your sacrifices every morning, Your Tithes Every Three Days. ( And not every week and keep in mind this was not talking about a dine of each dollar you make, it means everything you are blessed with. Galatians 3:10,
For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse; for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who does not continue in all things which are written in the book of the law, to do them.” Again if your spiritual Church leadership is teaching you to keep the Old Covenants, the Old Laws, and the Old Testament make sure first they are following and obeying everything in them, and then you follow them into bondage.
Galatians 5:1
Christian Liberty
Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage.
When someone trusts in Christ for salvation, the Holy Spirit indwells him, and he becomes a new creation. “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!” (2 Corinthians 5:17). The believer is no longer bound by sin; we become new creations, able to please God and live in His ways. Galatians 2:20 summarizes our newness well: “I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.” No longer do we live for ourselves, but we live for the One who is life (John 1:3–4). A transformation occurs in those who surrender to God, and of them, it can also be said, “Behold I make all things new Jesus Said.”
Becoming a new creation affects the way we live. God’s Word reminds us to put off our former, sinful ways of life (Ephesians 4:22–24, Colossians 3:9). Instead of living in sin and for ourselves, we are called to “put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator” (Colossians 3:10, ). Regeneration happens at the moment of salvation, but sanctification continues as we grow in faith and His likeness (2 Corinthians 3:18). Some ways we grow are through studying God’s Word, praying, having fellowship with other believers, and suffering. “Behold I make all things new” is a statement that affects the way we live when we trust Christ for salvation.
“Behold I make all things new” is a truth anticipated from the beginning. When Adam and Eve sinned, God gave glimpses of this promise as He meted out judgment on sin and promised the Messiah (Genesis 3). The prophet Isaiah declares that salvation is found in Christ alone and that He will certainly judge sin. He prophesies of the new heaven and new earth: “See, I will create new heavens and a new earth. The former things will not be remembered” (Isaiah 65:17). This sinful, depraved world is not God’s ultimate destiny for those who trust in Him, and we, like Apostle Paul, long for the time when God will “bring unity to all things in heaven and on earth under Christ” (Ephesians 1:10).
Decay, destruction, death, and evil are all part of our lives on this earth. Even nature groans to be delivered from the curse (Romans 8:22). Yet Jesus’ declaration, “Behold I make all things new,” In Revelation 21, John recounts seeing a new heaven and new earth. He sees a magnificent Holy City, where God dwells among His sons and daughters. It is here that God promises to wipe every tear from His son's and daughter's eyes. There will be no more death, mourning, crying, or pain. Finally, all creation will be free from the reign and effects of sin. After observing all this, John sees Jesus seated on the throne declaring, “Behold I make all things new.” This new heaven and earth is what believers long for, along with all creation (see Romans 8:19). Amen.
