2 Corinthians 5:17 (August)

Monthly Verse

I had this as a seperate blog, and after much prayer and consideration - I have decided to not seperate them. Each month I will place a new verse to ponder, giving reflections on Scripture. Please join in and share your thoughts!

Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature;

old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new
(2 Corinthians 5:17, KJV)

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ,he is a new creation;

the old has gone, the new has come!

(2 Corinthians 5:17 NIV)

This verse is where my love for butterflies came from; thinking like this - as the butterfly was once a caterpillar that formed into a cocoon to become something so beautiful, created as new! The old *(caterpillar) is gone, the new *(butterfly) has come! It's an amazing process to watch. And so is a human, shaking off the old, learning to become new. As in Romans 12:2 states: "Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will." Actively work on becoming new, what it is He (God) wants us to become!
Share your thoughts on becoming new...
