A New Creation

 

2 Corinthians 5:17 - Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. 

As a believer you should have the right perspective as to who you are in Christ Jesus. You may have negative thoughts about who you are because of a childhood filled with negative input. But you must realize that now you are a new creation, old things have passed away.

When we have been filled with negative thoughts by those closest to us, like, you can’t accomplish that, you’re a failure, or you’re worthless. Those types of thought patterns must be overcome from the Word of God by the power of the Holy Spirit. That’s why you are told in Romans 12:2 - And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. 

You renew your mind by focusing on the Truth of the Word of God. Read Galatians 4:7 - Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.

Also, the verse in Philippians 1:6 - Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:  

Realize who you are in Christ and then start to act like who you are, a child of the One True King!
