Our faith journey has a tension. Our experiences have shaped and skewed the way we view God, but often times they are not the truth. We find in the Bible, that regardless of our experiences, we are called to change our lives to give our life fully to the Lord and His new way of living. When we become these “New Creations,” we have a completely new perspective and focus, and that includes our place in eternity. As new creations, we find that as we get closer to the Lord we focus on our heavenly dwelling instead of what the world has to offer. Could this simple new perspective be a marker for where we are on our spiritual journey?
