Kijuan “The Psalmist”

Beloved brothers and sisters, the Apostle Paul’s words in 2 Corinthians 5:17 are not simply a poetic flourish—they are a divine proclamation of identity that reveals a fundamental transformation. These words declare a spiritual reality so profound that it fundamentally reshapes the very essence of our existence, impacting our worldview, purpose, and relationship with God. When Paul declares, “if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come,” he is echoing the language of Genesis, the Book of beginnings. Just as God spoke creation into existence—bringing forth light out of darkness, forming order from chaos, and filling voids with life—so now, through Christ, He speaks new creation into our lives. The same voice that said, “Let there be light” (Genesis 1:3), igniting the cosmos, now pronounces, “Let there be newness in you,” initiating a transformative process of renewal and rebirth.
