New to You

Galations 6:15

15 Neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything; what counts is the new creation.

Have you ever seen the same thing with different eyes? Paul was addressing the church in Galatia about what it means to really be new. It did not matter whether one was Jew or Gentile. As long as they were redeemed by the Lord, then there was transformation. Quite frankly, being in church all our lives or not does not make anyone a new creation. It is about the transformation that ought to take place within the heart from the relationship with God. As one grows the transformation will take place and one will be viewed by others with different eyes. The transformed will also have new eyes and will see the world from a different perspective. It's like walking down a street which you may do everyday but for the first time, you notice something that's been there all the time but it seems new to you because your focus was elsewhere.

The eye is the window of the soul so if there is a heart transformation the eyes will be transformed as well. Have you seen anything lately with a new set of eyes? Whether it's a book you've read, a place you visited or people you've seen, if it looks different to you, then it's very likely that there has been a transformation in you.
