For the love of Christ urges us on, because we are convinced that one has died for all; therefore all have died. And he died for all, so that those who live might live no longer for themselves, but for him who died and was raised for them. From now on, therefore, we regard no one from a human point of view; even though we once knew Christ from a human point of view, we know him no longer in that way. So if anyone is in Christ, there is a new creation: everything old has passed away; see, everything has become new! All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation; that is, in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting the message of reconciliation to us. (2 Corinthians 5:14-19, NRSV)
When we are washed in Christ we are a new creation the old has gone and the new has come.
We are no longer beyond by the old Adam, but are set free in the new life we have ahead of us in Christ.
It is the caterpillar becoming a chrysalis and then a butterfly. The old had gone and the butterfly is a new creation!
You are a butterfly so spread your wings and fly into the new life you have in Christ!
