Replace not fix...

Jesus said; you must be born again..

Scripture says; that we might walk in newness of life..

This new life is a replacement not a fix of the life we were born into when we were born into the life of this world...

This new life, from the moment of the new birth, till one steps into eternity it’s one purpose is to grow to maturity, or as much growth is possible in the time one has left in their sojourn...

This replacement is a real replacement, it is all predicate on the hearts desire after it.... One must desire this growth in this replacement of life... Scripture calls this hearts desire faith, which is the reaching out towards God of this hearts desire...

This reaching out of the heart towards God is the only way for this new life to grow, for man can have no part in the increase of this growing... One can only desire it, but desire it more then life one must desire it...For it is a giving up all of ones life unto death so that this replacement life might grow in one....

For we were saved strictly by faith and it is strictly by the continuation of this faith does the new life in one grow...

This is not a fancy, for one has not followed cleverly devised fables, for Christ really was raised to a new life and the one that follows Him in both His death and resurrection shall themselves experience the walking and the growing of this new life in them in the time of the body and a reward of;

‘it does not yet appear what we shall be’....

Be blessed all in who’s heart cry’s out after this new life....

Right on, praise God, and the Lord Jesus Christ for the allowance of newness of life, spiritual life. Dying with Christ Jesus to our old lifestyle into a resurrection of new creation and a new lifestyle with God and the Lord Jesus Christ at the fore front of the thoughts, and the heart by the spirit that is received from developing a relationship with the Father, and the Son of God, Yeshua Christ.

It is a process, of growing - the newness of life - just as we grow in life from a child to an adult. The same is the newness of spiritual life from a babe in Christ -> child -> teenager -> Adulthood of maturity in the faith that has been given through learning and growing in knowledge that is give freely from the bible to learn from, by the spirit!

May God give the increase to others and may they grow in faith and in love.

Amen and well said

2 Corinthians 5:. 17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. 18 Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation,
