Triumphant Thursday

We are doing a study on discipleship on Sunday Mornings. We have worked through some tough material, taking time to do some evaluations of our selves, praying for light on any sin, strongholds, worldliness, lack of faith, or failure to obey God. This week, we turn to look at some of the facts that the Bible teaches about us, New Creation Confessions. 



Neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything; what counts is the new creation. 
Galations 6:15

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come:^[a] The old has gone, the new is here! 

2 Corinthians 5:17

These are wonderful, amazing statements that show how God looks at us. I decided to share them with you. There are a bunch, so I am going to dole them out, writing a few each Thursday, so I used the clever title of Triumphant Thursday. My advice is to read them out loud with a lot of enthusiasm. "Faith comes by hearing". Build your faith by stating these confessions out loud.
