Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. 2 Corinthians 5:17 (NKJV) Today’s verse says that we become a new creation the moment we give our lives to Christ, and all things become new. But do you ever look at your life and wonder how this can be true? Maybe you still struggle with the same things you did before, so you think, “Nothing has changed! I still lose my temper, and have the same bad habits and low self-worth!” The truth is you are a three-part being: spirit, mind and body. Today’s verse is not talking about your body or your mind. When you gave your life to Christ, your body didn’t …
Get True Confidence
We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. 2 Corinthians 10:5 (NIV) It seems to be human nature to compare our worst with others’ best. We’re focused on our flaws while we notice everyone else’s gifts and talents. Meanwhile, God is trying to convince you through his Word that you are unique for a purpose, and you are incredibly valuable to him. True confidence about yourself and your identity comes from getting God’s Word in your heart. You need to make sure that you protect your mind when it comes to negative thoughts against yourself. The Bible doesn’t say to pray about your thoughts. It says …
Obtenga Confianza Verdadera
Destruimos argumentos y toda altivez que se levanta contra el conocimiento de Dios, y llevamos cautivo todo pensamiento para que se someta a Cristo. 2 Corintios 10: 5 (NVI) Parece que la naturaleza humana es comparar lo peor de nosotros con lo mejor de los demás. Estamos enfocados en nuestros defectos, mientras nos damos cuenta de los dones y talentos de los demás. Mientras tanto, Dios está tratando de convencerlo a través de su Palabra que usted es único por un propósito, y que es increíblemente valioso para él. La verdadera confianza en usted mismo y su identidad viene de llevar la Palabra de Dios en su corazón. Usted necesita asegurarse de que usted protege su mente cuando vienen pensamientos negativos a atacarlo. La Biblia …
Don’t Forget This Key
Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things. Philippians 4:8 (NKJV) We’ve been talking about the process involved in believing over the past few days, and one key within that process is gratitude. Philippians 4:6–7 sums up this principle. It says to “Rejoice in the Lord always” and it encourages us to make our requests known to God, with thanksgiving. Then “the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard [our] hearts and minds through Christ Jesus” (NKJV). When you get up in the morning, you have a choice. You could focus on …
No Olvide Esta Clave
Por último, hermanos, consideren bien todo lo que es verdadero, todo lo honesto, todo lo justo, todo lo puro, todo lo amable, todo lo digno de admiración, todo lo que sea excelente o merezca elogio. Filipenses 4: 8 (NKJV) En los últimos días hemos estado hablando sobre los procesos relacionados con el creer, y una de las claves dentro de ese proceso es la gratitud. Filipenses 4:6-7 resume este principio. Dice, “Regocíjese en el Señor siempre” y nos anima a presentar nuestras peticiones a Dios, con acción de gracias. A continuación, “la paz de Dios, que sobrepasa todo entendimiento, guardará [nuestros] corazones y nuestros pensamientos en Cristo Jesús” (NKJV). Cuando se levanta por la mañana, usted tiene una opción. Puede enfocarse en todas las cosas …
