Therefore

2 Corinthians 5.17: Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!
   I still remember my mother telling me of stories of when she first learned how to drive and the period immediately following the acquisition of her drivers license. During her time of learning how to drive, one story stands out above all of the rest to me. That is the story of the turn.
   She thought that theoretically, the accelerator should be engaged during a turn, because, again theoretically, since the front wheels were now turned, the car would lose velocity. However, anyone who has ever driven a turn knows that this theory does not quite work out on the road. Thankfully, if I remember correctly, she was in driver's education class when this happened and therefore did not cause any damage to anyone or the car. 
   However, she nor i will never forget not to push the accelerator during a turn. You see, once she learned that, something changed in her mind to where she wont mash the accelerator during the turn again. When we are in Christ, something changes to where we are a new creation, not wanting to dabble with the corrupt sin of our past. For the old has come, the new is here. If you are a  new creation in Christ, I urge you to continue to progress forward, in every area of your relationship with Christ, for again, the NEW IS HERE!
