Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come.
God didn't sacrifice His Son to only make you free from sin at your death. He did it to also set you free in your life.

The high price of our sins is a huge aspect of the Cross, and spending eternity with our Father is the ultimate crown. But that eternity doesn't have to wait. If you are in Christ, your eternity has already begun. The verse doesn't say "will be a new creature", it says "IS a new creature".
What a gift from our Heavenly Father - that the old filth and failures have passed away...they have nothing to do with us anymore. We ARE clean, and new, and free.
By the power of the Holy Spirit we can walk differently than the old creature.
If you have accepted Christ, and you hear a voice talking about your past - you can be sure it is not God...God has taken care of your past - and His voice will always talk about your future.

Mercy is an amazing thing, forgiveness is incredible. But being made new...starting over...completely disassociated with the failures of the past. THAT is amazing grace... and an act of loving holiness that we cannot yet fully comprehend.
Galatians 2:20 I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me
The Holiness of Christ has been forwarded to your account....Don't waste another second in the past. It is no longer your past. The old creature has nothing to do with you. It has been eliminated and in it's place is a new man, washed in the blood and free from the chains.
