RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DEVOTIONAL FOR TODAY THURSDAY 9TH JULY 2026.
2 Corinthians 5:17 says, “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.” You’re a new man in Christ, with the resurrection life: “Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life” (Romans 6:4).
We’re a new class of men, a new species. This is whatyou must understand about our life in Christ. The life we have is from God and not from man. The Apostle John was deliberate with his language. He didn’t say, “Life is in His Son”; rather, he said, “This life is in his Son.” He’s talking about a specific life, the very life of God. In 1 John 1:2, he calls it “…that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us.”
This life is different from all others. It’s what makes us divine. It’s what makes us gods: “I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High” (Psalm 82:6). The Bible says as He is, so are we in this world (1 John 4:17). Even the angel in the Book of Acts understood the peculiarity and taxonomic difference of our life in Christ when he said to the apostles in Acts 5:20, “Go, stand and speak in the temple to the people all the words of this life.”
This life is distinct, divine and superior. That’s what you received when you were born again. Being born again is not about joining a church; it’s about receiving eternal life—the life and nature of God. It means God is your Father. It means you’ve been brought into a new order of existence. Paul captures it this way: “I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me…” (Galatians 2:20). The concluding portion says, “…the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God….” This is the distinct, divine life of the new man in Christ.
PRAYER/CONFESSION
Dear Father, I thank you for your divine life in me. I’m conscious that I’m a new kind of man, born of your Spirit and filled with your glory. I walk in righteousness and live by your Spirit; I express your divine nature, revealing Christ to my world, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
