A New Creation

Text: Titus.2:1-11
More Lessons: II Cor.5:17

Being born-again is more than answering an altar call and confessing Christ openly in a church service or at a crusade. Becoming a Christian means a changed life-style. When a person becomes a Christian, old habits and desires are replaced with new ones. The new creature in Christ Jesus talks differently, acts differently and sometimes even dresses differently. He now prefers the company of Christians, enjoys fellowship with other believers, whether at house caring fellowship, unit meeting, Bible Study, prayer meeting or at the Sunday pastoral service. He will do everything possible to be present at every service.

Loving God and His Word is another evidence that a man is redeemed. The Word of God must become very sweet to him/her. How sweet are thy words unto my taste! Yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth!: Psa.119:103.

Readiness to give God all that is required: offering, tithes, time, and our valuables without reservation is another great evidence that the old nature of selfishness and greed has passed away. Having strong desire to commune with God in the place of prayer and songs of worship is another evidence of a regenerated life. God’s love in a man’s life cannot be hidden; everyone who loves God will flow in love towards others as he lives day by day. And if we love God and His Word with passion, we will always have the push to go out of our way to share the good news of salvation with unbelievers and encourage other believers to keep the pathway of righteousness. Waiting eagerly for the coming of Christ is also a great proof that you are saved.

Jesus is definitely coming for those who are waiting for His coming. If you are not preparing nor waiting for His coming, you can't be ready when He comes. What if it's today? Are you rapturable? Or if it is by death, will you make it?
