Isaiah 43:18-19-“ Remember not the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.
2 Corinthians 5:17-21- Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come. All this is from God, who through Christ reconciled us to Himself and gave us the ministry of reconciliation; that is, in Christ God was reconciling the world to Himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation. Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, God making his appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. For our sake He made Him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God
Ezekiel 11:19-20- And I will give them one heart, and a new spirit I will put within them. I will remove the heart of stone from their flesh and give them a heart of flesh, that they may walk in My statutes and keep My rules and obey them. And they shall be My people, and I will be their God.
2 Peter 1:4- By which He has granted to us His precious and very great promises, so that through them you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world because of sinful desire.

Ezekiel 36:25-27- I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you shall be clean from all your uncleanness’ s, and from all your idols I will cleanse you. And I will give you a new heart, and a new spirit I will put within you. And I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. And I will put my Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes and be careful to obey my rules.
You have to believe and live out the fact that the old self is dead. You have to have the courage to let go of the old you. You have to be brave enough to forget who you think you are. Being born into Christ is the starting point for growing wisdom and love.
Once you have accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour, the old has pass away. The old thoughts and the old ways.
Every day when you wake up, it’ s a new day because we are a new creation in Christ Jesus.
