The Central Truth of Christian Life Often Overlooked in Church

That (DAD) God Wants His Daughters to Know

on canva by author

Many of us never grasp this simple yet critical teaching from the Bible: that we actually become new creations in Christ.

So many Christian women struggle like fish out of water after being born again. It was a wonderful experience at the start, but then:

😞 We got disillusioned and wonder what we did wrong.
😞 We din’t understand the truth of our transformation.
😞 We probably never heard about it in church either.

Think of It Like This:

👩 You used to be like a fish that couldn’t breathe air.
👩 You wanted to live on the promised land, but
👩 You’d get out of breath, flustered, and discouraged because you weren’t created to live by breathing air. You didn’t have the lungs for it. 🐟

To live a better, air-breathing life, you’d have to replace your water-breathing lungs with air-breathing lungs.

We can’t replace our own lungs.

We used to be alive to sin — that’s what our hearts were set on. A heart for sin simply can’t live with God in His promises.

But now, we have a heart for God in Christ.

Galatians 2:20: “My old self has been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. So I live in this earthly body by faith, trusting in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.”

2 Corinthians 5:17: “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!”

2 Corinthians 5:7 For we live by faith, not by sight.

This new life as a new creation is lived by faith in Jesus. And just like a fish out of water, trying to live by the old way of sight will cause suffering.

I can’t explain the daily peace and joy I experience since my mind was finally renewed to this truth.
Of course, as the Bible says, we all stumble.
Our new selves still have our old bodies.

That’s why I am creating a Faith Lift Guide. To remind myself of the basic core elements of being a Christian and get a stronger trust in God.
