[Manna - September 7]
If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. 2 Corinthians 5:17
THESE New Creatures in Christ Jesus know each
other not according to the flesh but according to the
Spirit.
In each other's spirits or new minds there are
the noblest sentiments, the highest aspirations, that
which is good, true, noble, pure—whatever may be
their weaknesses according to the flesh.
They love
each other from the new standpoint of intention, will,
harmony with God, and their friendship for one another
grows increasingly as they perceive each other's
energy in fighting the good fight of faith against the
evil influences of the world, the flesh and the adversary.
Nor tongue nor pen can properly express the
love, the friendship, which subsists between these New
Creatures in Christ Jesus, to whom old things have
passed away, and all things have become new. Z.'03-333 R3233:4
