NEW CREATIONS The Transforming Power of Loss 1.17.212 Cor 5:17 17Therefore, if anyone is in Christ,the new creationhas come:The old has gone, the new is here!There is no life without death. There is no resurrection without crucifixion. Justification (salvation) is a gift we are given through faith by the work of Jesus but a life of transformation is something we must choose to walk in through the help and power of the Holy Spirit. Philippians 3:4-11 If someone else thinks they have reasons to put confidence in the flesh, I have more:5circumcisedon the eighth day, of the people of Israel,of the tribe of Benjamin,a Hebrew of Hebrews; in regard to the law, a Pharisee;6asfor zeal,persecuting the church;as for righteousness based on the law,faultless.7But whatever were gains to me I now consider lossfor the sake of Christ.8What is more, I consider everything a loss because of the surpassingworth of knowingChrist Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. Iconsider them garbage, that I may gain Christ
