A NEW HUMANITY
Ephesians 2:15 by setting aside in his flesh the law with its commands and regulations. His purpose was to create in himself one new humanity out of the two, thus making peace, (NIV)
In the book of Genesis we have the account of the creation of man. Adam, the first man transgressed God's law and fell short of the glory and standard of God. Thus a new humanity was needed.
Many centuries later God chose Israel to be His nation, His treasured possession. Through Moses He gave them the law which made them unique and separated them from the rest of the world unto God. The law was the dividing wall. When Jesus came into the world He removed the law and made the Israelites and the rest of the world (the Gentiles) one; creating a new humanity.
Let us read Ephesians 2:14-16, For he himself is our peace, who has made the two groups one and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility, by setting aside in his flesh the law with its commands and regulations. His purpose was to CREATE IN HIMSELF ONE NEW HUMANITY out of the two, thus making peace, and in one body to reconcile both of them to God through the cross, by which he put to death their hostility.
The first humanity was formed from the dust of the earth. The second and new humanity was created in Christ Himself. To be like God.
1 Corinthians 15:47 The first man was of the dust of the earth; the second man is of heaven.
Ephesians 4:24 and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.
My brother this refers to us the new creation. The new creation is a new humanity. No wonder the people of the world do not understand us, and demons cannot predict nor stop us.
Oh the Bible says in 2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!
What we have here is the new; the new humanity. Don't see yourself in the light of the world or any other kind of light aside God's light. In God's light and sight we are a new humanity. The Christian is something existence hasn't seen before. The church is the new humanity. See yourself differently. See things differently. Live in the light of who you are; a new creation, a new humanity. Hallelujah!
CONFESSION
I have been recreated in Christ Jesus a new humanity, to be like God in true righteousness and holiness. I am a new creature; a new species, I am one with and like the Man from heaven, Jesus Christ. Hallelujah!
