Maybe after a good nap or a much-needed vacation. When we attempt to repair something and our efforts turn out well, we say something like \u201cGood as new!\u201d That\u2019s because, in our minds, new is good. If we see an advertisement that states, \u201cNew and improved\u201d, we take it for granted that whatever it is that is being sold is somehow better than it was. But why is it, that when the Scriptures tell us we are \u201cnew creations\u201d and that we have the power to \u201cwalk in newness of life\u201d, we don\u2019t believe it? The New Testament has a lot to say about the old nature and the new nature. Paul, in particular, seems to be always talking about putting off the old and putting on the new. But for some reason, we have a difficult time believing it because we don\u2019t always feel or act like a new man.   ","author_name":"Devotionary Podcast","author_url":"http:\/\/devotionary.libsyn.com\/podcast","html":"
