THE NEW CREATION MYSTERY EXPLAINED PT 2
The New Creation is not new in the sense of being just made. It is new in the sense of never getting old. In this place time as we know it has no value or effect. For time is a measurement of the “getting old creation”. The one of the big bang of time and matter.
The New Creation is also young for it can never age. It never lacks luster or fades. It never needs repaired or painted. It is not new in the way we perceive new in having never been before. In a similar sense we could call our creation old since that day of sin it began to decay corrode and erosion began when Adam was told “in that day you shall surely die”. Death had become.
This day which has no end also has no beginning. It as is not getting older or decrepit, it is not getting younger or infantile. It just is and always is perfect. That “which was and is to come”. Is always perfect. It has been and will be always perfect, un-taintable by humanity. This is the paradise of God. Everyday is the grand opening, the feast, the main event, the wedding. The gospel message and all its teachings are to bring us there. Which is the day which has no night. It is forever young, in eternal unfading glory, for The Lamb of God is its light. The place of our calling.
Paul talks about this when he says “For our outward man is perishing, yet our inward man is renewed day after day”. It is forever new. All the focus and teachings of scripture define this place as not a future reality, but concurring (unceasingly occurring) for those born of God who walk according to the Spirit. Those who “since you are resurrected with Christ set your mind on the things that are above”. “He has raised us up and made us sit together with Him in heavenly places in Christ”.
So then we who are in the Spirit are in this New Creation. Not that it was created but it is a creation in the sense that it has specific features having order and design. But as it has no end and no beginning, having always existed in God the Father because it is God the Father. The not-created creation. As Christ said when asked of His Kingdom. “It is not of this world”, not of big bang time and matter.
Whatever is eternal is God. All things have been given to the Son, and we are joint heirs with Him, of the eternal life that was with the Father and manifested in the Son. He who has the Son has this life, this always New Creation.
The Kingdom of God is at hand.
