NEW CREATION

"Therefore if any man is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come.  Now all these things are from God..."

2 Corinthians 5:17-18

If I am not a new person, I am not in Christ.  I will not be sin-less, but I will continue to sin less!  If I have a new relationship with Christ, then I will also have a new relationship with sin.  When my heart is regenerated, my affections will change.  "If a man is not a new creature, He is not 'in Christ'! Everything is new for a Christian; he sees the world in a whole new light" (Leiter 51). It is all about JESUS!
