" Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here! - 2 Corinthians 5:17 (NIV)

Welcome to my newsletter!

Hello Reader,

Yes, this is a new look. I hope you enjoy the new changes.

I've started a new ministry based on this newsletter.

Let's get closer to God every day, one verse at a time.

Today, let's talk about your identity. Is it based on the world's standards or God's?

If you are rooted solidly in the Words of Christ, you are a new person; the old habits and ways are gone. You are a new creation!

When we surrender our lives to Him, we are transformed, leaving behind our old selves and embracing a new identity in Him.

It represents renewal, purpose, and the assurance that we are defined not by our past but by who we are in Christ.

A Little History...

2 Corinthians 5:17 beautifully illustrates the amazing transformation believers experience through Christ, as shared by the Apostle Paul in his heartfelt message to the Corinthian church.

In his letter to the Corinthians, Paul tackled some important issues that were going on in the church.

He stood up for his role as an apostle against some false teachers, encouraged everyone to stay faithful even when things got tough, and shared powerful messages about reconciliation and the new life we can have through Christ.

How to Apply It To Your Life...

Transformation occurs when we choose to prioritize Jesus and His Word in our lives. Here's how we effectively apply today’s verse:

Renew Your Mind with God’s Truth

• It's time to let go of those old identities that are tied to past mistakes, guilt, or what society expects of you.
• Make it a habit to meditate on Scripture regularly to strengthen your identity in Christ (Romans 12:2).
• Replace negative self-talk with God’s truth: "I am a new creation in Christ."

🔹 Application: Start your day by declaring who you are in Christ. For example, “I am loved, chosen, and made new in Christ.”

Live Differently as a New Creation

• Your actions, thoughts, and choices should embody your transformation.
• Seek to grow in spiritual disciplines (prayer, Bible study, worship, and obedience).
• Show Christ’s love in your relationships by practicing forgiveness, humility, and kindness.

🔹 Application: Ask yourself daily, “Does this decision reflect my new life in Christ?”

Share the Message of Reconciliation

• Just as God reconciled us to Himself, we are called to bring others to Him.
• Look for opportunities to share your testimony—how God has transformed your life.
• Be a reflection of Christ in your workplace, family, and community.

🔹 Application: Pray for at least one person in your life who needs to know Christ and look for ways to share His love with them.

Let's Pray Together...

Dear Lord,

I want my identity to be rooted in You. Help me live out Your Word and reflect Your love in everything I do.

I know that when I follow Your example, I can make a real difference in the world around me.

Please help me let go of the things that don’t align with You and embrace the new life You’ve given me.

Guide my steps, bless my efforts, and remind me that I am made new in You.

Amen.

Let's Sum It All Up...

If we can apply this verse in our lives, we can make a difference in the world around us. Imagine if more did just that!

I've made a decision: I want to live out and share His Word with as many people as I can. I believe that by doing this, I can change the world, one verse at a time...with you.

I hope you continue to share this message and join me on this fulfilling journey.

In the coming weeks and months, I hope this letter will improve and evolve, helping you draw closer to God each day!

Go out there and have a blessed day.

Quentin.
