Profound Change
God's promise in Ezekiel 11:19 & 36:26-27 contained these things:
Removal of our old heart of stone (it was deceitful, cold, and unloving)
A new heart of flesh (it's soft, warm, and loving)
A new spirit (the old one was bent on rebellion)
His Spirit in us (without Him, we do not have eternal Life)
Our new human spirit is what's being referred to in 2 Corinthians 5:17, where we are told that we who are in Christ are new creations, the old has passed away, and all things have become new.
Our new self, created in Christ Jesus is designed to express godly attitudes and actions. (Ephesians 2:10) Our minds need renewal (Romans 12:2) because we still live in a world filled with all sorts of evil. It constantly presses us to fall back into old patterns and thoughts.
We are one spirit with the Lord, (1 Corinthians 6:17) and so we are both on the same team. Our spirit and His Spirit both work to renew our minds, desire godliness, and actually act like it. (Galatians 5:17, Philippians 2:13, Titus 2:11-12)
Trust that He has changed you.
Trust that He is working to transform you from the inside out.
Philippians 1:6 “For I am sure of this very thing, that the one who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus.” (NET)
Grace and peace to you.
