2 Cor 5:17 Now whoever you thought you were before, in Christ you are brand new! The old ways of seeing yourself and everyone else are over. Look! The resurrection of Jesus has made everything new! (Just imagine this! Whoever a person was as a Jew, Greek, slave or freeman, Boer, Zulu, Xhosa, British, Indian, Moslem or American, Chinese, Japanese or Congolese; is now dead and gone! They all died when Jesus died! Remember we are not talking the law language here! The If in, If any man is in Christ is not a condition, it is the almighty conclusion of the revelation of the gospel! Man is in Christ by Gods doing. 1 Cor 1:30, Eph 1:4. 2 Cor 5:14-16 gives context to verse 17! For so long we studied verse 17 on its own and interpreted the if as a condition! Paul did not say, If any man is in Christ, he said THEREFORE if any man is in Christ... The therefore immediately includes verses 14 to 16! If Gods faith sees every man in Christ in his death, then they were certainly also in Christ in his resurrection. Jesus did not reveal a potential you, he revealed the truth about you so that you may know the truth about yourself and be free indeed!) Mirror Bible
