【林后5:17】若有人在基督里，他就是新造的人。旧事已过，都变成新的了。【2 Cor5:17】Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!

耶稣基督降世，为要拯救罪人。神的救法，不是修补改造我们的旧人，而是废除旧的，带来完全新的创造！Jesus Christ came into the world to save sinners. God’s way of salvation is not to patch up or reform our old self, but to put it to death and bring forth an entirely new creation. 从信主的那一刻开始，我们得着重生的生命。在基督里的人，因信与耶稣基督联合的人，成为一个新造的人！From the moment we believe in the Lord, we receive the life of new birth. Those who are in Christ—those who by faith are united with Him—become a new creation. 哈利路亚！创造万有的主，创造了一个全新的生命在我们里面！

Hallelujah! The Lord who made all things has created a wholly new life within us!

耶稣为我们而死，在十字架上，我们的旧人也被终结，已死的人是脱离了罪。Jesus died for us, and on the cross our old self was brought to an end. The one who has died is freed from sin.  耶稣从死里复活，赐下新的生命，就是神自己，是神儿子的生命，是圣灵，住在我们里面！Jesus rose from the dead, giving us the life of the new —the very life of God, the life of the Son of God, the Holy Spirit dwelling within us.  旧的事都已经过去，在基督里一切都更新了！历世历代，多少人生命被翻转，活出全新荣耀的生命！The old has passed away; in Christ, all things have been made new! Through the ages, countless lives have been transformed, living out a fresh and glorious life!

然而，为什么我们常常还在挣扎中失败？我们里面有了全新的生命，同时还有一个旧人和被罪污秽的思想体系，Yet why do we so often still fall in the midst of our struggles? Within us is a wholly new life, and yet there remains the old self, with its mind corrupted by sin. 什么时候掉在旧的思想观念里，什么时候就又落在罪的缠累和失败的循环中。Whenever we fall back into those old ways of thinking, we are again ensnared in the cycle of sin’s entanglement and defeat. 主啊，求你赦免我没有信你的话，我的旧人是卖给罪的，是改不好的，只配得被否定、弃绝和钉死。Lord, forgive me for not believing Your word. My old self was sold under sin, beyond repair—fit only to be denied, rejected, and nailed to the cross.

奉主耶稣的名破除一切“我没用”、“我要改好一些”的谎言，我向拒绝感、羞耻感、惧怕、不信、灰心…是死的！In the name of the Lord Jesus, I break every lie that says, “I am useless,” or “I must make myself better.” I reckon myself dead to rejection, shame, fear, unbelief, and discouragement. 看哪，神将一切都更新了！我宣告：我是新造的人，耶稣是我的生命，基督在我里面活着！Behold, God has made all things new! I declare: I am a new creation; Jesus is my life; Christ lives in me! 圣灵，掌管我，更新我，天天否定自己，举起基督，活出新造人的实际，见证上帝新造的奇迹。Holy Spirit, rule over me and renew me. Day by day, I deny myself, lift up Christ, and live out the reality of the new creation, bearing witness to the miracle of God’s new work.
