Being new creations in Christ means that we are different, different from the dead-ended ways of the condemned world. The thoughts and attitudes of the heavenly and earthly kingdoms are radically at odds. Paul makes the issue clear when he writes, “Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind so that you can test and approve what God’s will is—His good, pleasing, and perfect will” (Romans 12:2). Jesus gave His life to redesign us from the inside out. When we express our newness in Him, people who intersect our lives get a refreshing glimpse of something wonderfully different, a taste of heaven on earth. Go ahead. Surprise someone today with some heavenly culture shock!
