2 Corinthians 5:17 (NKJV) 17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.
We are all broken in one way or another. None of us is perfect or complete, especially if we are trying to fix ourselves without God’s help.
There is a reason that God’s word says that Jesus makes us a new creation. Why is that? Because the old us is broken and in need of being made new.
We can never be fixed until we realize that we are broken. This was true before we found God and it is true even now, after we know Christ.
Even though God has made us a new creation in Christ, we can still be in need of His incredible skills to make new things out of broken vessels. Just because we have given our lives over to Him doesn’t mean that we are a finished product with no blemishes or problems.
On the contrary, when we came to Christ, we confessed our faith in Him. And in doing so, we admitted that we can’t handle everything on our own. So it’s important that we continue every day to place ourselves in His hands and let Him proceed to mold us and shape us into who He wants us to be.
Remember, it is not the well who need a physician, but the sick. And just as the sick need a physician, so do the broken need a Master Builder to make us new again.
