The
Christian Church of the Gospel Age is spoken of in Scripture as
the new creation -- specifically mentioned as "new creatures
in Christ" (2 Cor. 5:17). The laws, duties, privileges and
responsibilities of God's new creation are defined in Scripture
and are designed for their instruction, edification, blessing
and comfort.
The
New Creation discusses at length the obligation which Christians
assume especially in the light of their beneficial effect upon
spiritual growth. This is important in order that Christians may
achieve a more complete spirit of discipleship to Christ. The
New Creation examines:
*
how God calls His people
*
the doctrine of predestination
*
the baptism of the new creation
*
the Passover of the new creation
*
the responsibilities of marriage, parental and other earthly obligations
*
the organization of the new creation
The
New Creation makes the New Testament instruction by Jesus and
the Apostles come alive with meaning. As the Temple of the Living
God, each Christian is to honor, praise and glorify God. Anything
less is not living up to our privilege of walking with the Master.
