“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!” (2 Corinthians 5:17)

The process that leads one into the New Birth miracle must follow the procedures below:

First. Surely you heard about the dream of a “new world”. Also, you have heard about the Kingdom of God. Right? In the verse above, we learn that the so dreamed “new world” starts in the person of Jesus, as He is the beginning of a “new creation”. Therefore, the first step to jump into the New Birth process is to acknowledge that Jesus is the Way!

Second. The new replaces the old! So right after accepting the fact that the whole process starts in Jesus, the candidate for the New Birth miracle must let the old things go. How can we identify the old stuff or the wrongs, so that we might let them go? Let’s look at it this way. Turn the commandments, ordinances and laws of God into a precise and perfect mirror, and look to yourself through it. If you are not pleased with what you see, it’s because you have the “old things” that must be left behind. Looking firmly to that mirror (Bible), you will be able to identify the old stuff and let them dwell in the past forever more. (Ex: addictions, gossips, prostitution, adultery, lies, dishonesty, pretense, selfishness, etc.)

“The law of the Lord is perfect, reviving the soul. The statutes of the Lord are trustworthy, making wise the simple. The precepts of the Lord are right, giving joy to the heart. The commands of the Lord are radiant, giving light to the eyes. The fear of the Lord is pure, enduring forever. The ordinances of the Lord are sure and altogether righteous. They are more precious than gold, than much pure gold; they are sweeter than honey, than honey from the comb. By them is your servant warned; in keeping them there is great reward.” (Psalm 19:7-11)

Third. Once you let go of the old things, you are half way. Now the new things must replace the old ones. To go straight to the point, I say that the “new world or new life” starts with the acquirement of God’s mind. When we acquire the thoughts of God, which are higher than ours – Isaiah 55:8,9 – the will of God, His plans and potentiality, become very clear in our eyes and consequently we gain innumerous virtues, among which, the fear of God must be highlighted! But, how can we acquire it?

“For who among men knows the thoughts of a man except the man's spirit within him? In the same way no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God.” (1 Corinthians 2:11)

Only the Spirit of God can introduce God’s thoughts to us. Hence, make sure you will do all you can to have Him with you or even better “in” you for all the days of your life!
