*Introduction*
For in Christ old things are past away, and everything becomes new. But the question is, how can you live in Christ, whom you can’t see?
This can be achieve by letting the wors of God fill your heart - John 15:7.
In 1 John 2:28-29, Christ refers to us as little children, because he has adopted us by His blood, and also accepting to go throw repentance and water baptism. This makea us a peculiar and special creature to God.
The world having know of this fact, are waiting and anticipating to see the manifestation of God’s glory in your life ad you are now living a new life in Christ.
Cry not, for God has given us victory, having defeated the cross and death, hence, all we are victorious as well, only if you will stay or continue living a new life in Christ.
However, it’s pertinent of you to live and uphold a new life that glorifies God, by forsaking sin and the old life you had.
Accepting Christ as a new life, can on His own push away all the evil and sins of your old life, with no effort of yours, provided that you have decided to begin a new life with Christ, which means *you need the spirit of the son of man* in your life henceforth - Ephesians 5:18. For you cannot accept Jesus and reject the Holy Spirit, for these two compliments each other.
As a child of God living a bew life in Christ, God is always with you, hence, nothing can stand against you - for if God is for you, who can be against you?, for all that shall rise against tou *must* surely fall.
*Conclusion*
The world expects you to fail while living your new life in Christ, as well as being in sorrow, but the world of God affirms that *No Weapons Fashioned Against You Shall Prosper*. That’s how confident you would be once you have anew life in Christ.
