Living In The New Creation

LIVING IN THE NEW CREATION

If a brother attains to the out-resurrection in his experience, even his love for his wife will be in the new creation. No longer will it be a natu ral love, a love in the old creation. A brother may love his wife very much, but his love may have nothing to do with the out-resurrection. Like wise, a wife may be submissive to her husband according to her ethics and cultural background, but her submission may also be altogether in the natural realm, in the old creation, not at all in the new creation. Suppose a sister makes herself submit to her husband. She does not want to sub mit, but, perhaps with tears, she forces herself to do so. This submission is in the old creation. God does not want a natural love or a natural submission, a love and submission which are not in the out-resurrection. Instead, He wants us to live the kind of life revealed in Philippians 3. For this, we need to gain Christ and be found in Him to know the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings, being con formed to His death, that we may attain to the out-resurrection.

God has rescued us from the old creation and put us in a race toward the goal for the prize.

Now we must run this race to attain to the out- resurrection from the dead and all the things of the new creation.
