Topic : New Identity And New Life.

Memory Verse : Romans 13:14. Instead fully immerse yourselves into the Lord Jesus, the Anointed One, and don’t waste even a moment’s thought on your former identity to awaken its selfish desires.

Bible Reading :Romans 13:12-13 TPT. Key Verse :v13.

Night’s darkness is dissolving away as a new day of destiny dawns. So we must once and for all strip away what is done in the shadows of darkness, removing it like filthy clothes. And once and for all we clothe ourselves with the radiance of light as our weapon. We must live honorably, surrounded by the light of this new day, not in the darkness of drunkenness and debauchery, not in promiscuity and sensuality, not being argumentative or jealous of others.

When we have genuine encounter with the man of the cross, we receive new identity and a new life. To that extent, there are visible changes that our contact and relationship with him leaves on our daily life, especially in our relationship with constituted authorities and fellow men in general. In the first place, we need to understand that authorities are constituted by God for the purpose of governance and orderliness to avoid chaos in society. Imagine what our society will look like if there are no constituted authorities? “Those in authority are therefore are God’s servants for the good of society. “But if you break the law, you have reason to be alarmed, for they are God’s agents of punishment to bring criminals to justice. Why do you think they carry weapons? You are compelled to obey them, not just to avoid punishment, but because you want to live with a clean conscience.” Romans 13:4-5.

Through the death and resurrection of Jesus, we are able to understand the true meaning of love as he demonstrated same to us by his sacrificial death. He didn’t just stop there, but took some steps further to put his Spirit in us so that ourselves can receive inbuilt capacity to walk in same love as revealed to us. In this realm of love, our consciences are alive to good works, even when no man is there to supervise or compel us to do what is right. “And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us. For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” Romans 5:5-8 KJV.

At this point in time, our lives becomes a picture where men can see the nature of Christ lived out daily. Because his nature has been given to us by his indwelling Spirit, we don’t just stop at walking in the light, rather we take steps further to become the light because of continuous exposure or relationship to the source of light. That is the reason Christ began to tell his early disciples and our fathers in the faith that you have become the light of the world. Cities set on hills in different locations around the world as models cities or societal role models. Salt that make the condiments used in cooking to blend and deliver the right or desired taste of the cook. That is the reason we cannot continue in our old nature or livestyles that does not depict or glorify Jesus Christ himself. “Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men. Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.” Matthew 5:13-14,16 KJV.
