New Creation Realities - A Bible Study
This Bible study will guide you through understanding and applying the New Creation Realities that come with being born into the Kingdom of God and living with Christ in you. As we explore the key elements of this transformation, we will focus on how to live out the new identity, victory, and purpose that Christ has given us.
1. Recognizing Your New Identity in Christ
The first step in living out the New Creation Reality is understanding your new identity in Christ. When you are born again, you are no longer defined by your past or by the world but by your relationship with Christ.
- Discussion Question: How does understanding that you are a new creation change the way you view yourself and your past?
- Application: When negative thoughts or condemnation arise, declare your identity as a new creation in Christ. Use this scripture to renew your mind and live from your new identity.
2. Living with Christ as Your Source of Life
Your new life is not sustained by your own efforts but by Christ living in you. We must daily surrender our will and desires to Christ, allowing His life to flow through us.
- Discussion Question: What does it mean to live by faith in the Son of God rather than relying on your own strength?
- Application: Begin each day by committing it to Christ, asking Him to live through you in every situation.
3. Renewing Your Mind and Walking in the Spirit
As a new creation, you are no longer to live according to the patterns of the world but must renew your mind to align with God’s Word. The Holy Spirit helps you to think and live in a way that pleases God.
- Discussion Question: How can you practically renew your mind each day and live according to the Spirit?
- Application: Make a habit of reading, memorizing, and meditating on scripture. Ask the Holy Spirit to guide your thoughts and actions throughout the day.
4. Walking in Freedom from Sin
As a new creation, you have been freed from the power of sin. You are no longer a slave to sin but are empowered to live a righteous and holy life through Christ.
- Discussion Question: How does knowing that your old self is crucified with Christ impact how you deal with temptation and sin?
- Application: When faced with temptation, declare your freedom from sin in Christ. Pray for the strength to resist and rely on the Holy Spirit’s power to overcome.
5. Relying on the Holy Spirit’s Guidance
The Holy Spirit is the key to living out the new creation. He leads, empowers, and teaches you how to live in alignment with God’s will.
- Discussion Question: In what ways can you allow the Holy Spirit to lead and guide you in your daily life?
- Application: Spend time in prayer, asking the Holy Spirit for guidance. Develop a sensitivity to His voice and promptings, and be quick to obey.
6. Reflecting Christ’s Character
Part of being a new creation is becoming more like Christ. As you walk with Him, you should grow in reflecting His character—love, patience, kindness, humility, and holiness.
- Discussion Question: How can you practically reflect the character of Christ in your relationships and daily interactions?
- Application: Make it a daily goal to reflect one of Christ’s attributes in your interactions with others. For example, choose to show love, patience, or humility in difficult situations.
7. Exercising Your Authority in Christ
As a new creation, you have been given authority over the enemy and spiritual forces that oppose God’s purpose in your life. You no longer have to live in fear or defeat but can walk in victory through Christ.
- Discussion Question: How can you stand firm in the authority that Christ has given you over the enemy?
- Application: When spiritual opposition arises, use the Word of God and the authority of Jesus’ name to stand firm. Declare victory over fear, doubt, and temptation.
8. Living with Hope and Expectation of Eternity
As a new creation, your life is not just about the here and now but is also shaped by the hope of eternal life with God. This perspective influences how you live today.
- Discussion Question: How can an eternal perspective change the way you approach your daily life and decisions?
- Application: In moments of discouragement or challenge, remind yourself of the eternal hope you have in Christ. Make decisions that align with eternal values rather than temporary desires.
9. Sharing the New Creation Message
As part of the new creation, you are called to share this message with others. The transformation you’ve experienced is meant to be shared, inviting others to experience the same new life in Christ.
- Discussion Question: How can you be intentional about sharing your faith and the message of the new creation with others?
- Application: Look for opportunities to share your testimony and the gospel with others. Ask God to open doors for conversations and lead you to those who need to hear the message of new life in Christ.
Living in the New Creation Realities involves recognizing your new identity in Christ, allowing Him to live through you, and walking in the power of the Holy Spirit. As you embrace these truths, your life will increasingly reflect the character of Christ, and you will experience the freedom, authority, and hope that come with being a new creation.
This Bible study invites you to apply these principles daily, trusting God to continue transforming you from glory to glory.

New Creation Realities - A Bible Study
My own reflection
In my own understanding po tungkol sa New Creation Realities, parang nag-open ng eyes ko. It's not just about going to church every Sunday, but really understanding na iba na ako dahil kay Cristo. I'm not defined by my past mistakes or what other people say about me, kundi kung sino ako kay Cristo. For example, dati pag nagkakamali ako, feeling ko wala na akong pag-asa. Pero ngayon, I remember na new creation na ako, so I can try again. One thing na nag-stick sa akin is yung living with Christ as my source. Hindi pala kaya ng sarili kong strength, dapat lagi akong nagre-rely sa kanya. Like, pag may problema, I pray for help instead of panicking.
This study made me realize na I have authority in Christ. Hindi na ako dapat matakot sa mga problema o sa mga temptations. I can stand firm and declare victory dahil kay Jesus. For example, pag may temptation na magalit, I can choose to be calm because of Jesus. And syempre, dapat shine-share ko rin 'to sa iba, para malaman din nila yung new life na meron tayo kay Cristo. And yung Holy Spirit, super important pala talaga na mag-guide sa akin araw-araw. So, moving forward, I want to be more intentional in applying these things in my life. Pray more, read the Bible, and really try to reflect Christ's character in my actions.

On my own words i think tungkol sya sa mga salita na DIYOS, and na kahit every sunday hindi sya nakabase sa pagsisimba, which is kung pano mo kilalanin si Cristo. And hindi hadlang ang past mistakes ko or anything past or anong sabihin ng ibang tao saakin, ijudge nila ako but doesn't defind me as a person, kundi kung sino ako at ano ako kay Cristo.

My own reflection
As I reflect on New Creation Realities,I understand that being in Christ means I am no longer my old self.
Sabi sa Bible, “If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation” kaya ang dati kong pagkakamali ay napatawad na.
This gives me peace and assurance na hindi na ako defined by my past.
Bagong buhay at bagong identity na ang ibinigay ni Jesus sa akin.
Minsan mahirap kasi bumabalik pa rin ang old struggles, pero I am reminded that God’s grace is greater.
The Holy Spirit helps me to walk in righteousness and to live with purpose.

My Reflection
Para sa akin, ang aralin na ito ay nagpapaalala na ang pagiging new creation kay Christ ay hindi lang one-time event kundi isa itong continuous journey ng transformation o pag babago. The moment na tinanggap ko si Jesus, lahat ng kasalanan, guilt, at pagkukulang ko ay nilinis na, at binigyan ako ng bagong identity bilang anak ng Diyos. Ang worth ko ay hindi na naka-base sa past ko, kundi sa ginawa ni Cristo para sa akin.
Pero narealize ko rin na ang pamumuhay bilang bagong nilalang ay araw-araw na desisyon. Hindi ito kaya sa sariling lakas, kailangan kong hayaan si Kristo ang mabuhay at mang hari sa akin. Kailangan kong i-renew ang isip o mindset ko through God’s Word.
Na-touch din ako sa reminder na binigyan tayo ng authority at purpose bilang mga anak ng Diyos. Tinawag tayong mamuhay na may tagumpay, hindi sa fear.
Sa kabuuan, ang New Creation Realities ay nagpapaalala sa akin na hindi na ako ‘yung dati. I am renewed, empowered, and given purpose para mabuhay. Habang nagpapatuloy ako sa journey na ito, nais ko na mas lalo pang mag-reflect si Jesus sa buhay ko araw-araw. At patuloy na mag improve.

Upon accepting Christ, we received an entirely new identity. We are not defined by our previous mistakes or societal expectations but by our connection with Christ. According to 2 Corinthians 5:17, “If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation.” This indicates that all our previous failures, guilt, and shame have vanished. We begin anew with God. Kaya sa kabila ng anumang hamon, dapat nating ipahayag araw-araw na tayo ay isang bagong nilikha, at ang pag-iisip na ito ay magbabago sa ating pananaw sa ating sarili at sa hinaharap.
Our existence is no longer centered on depending solely on our strength. It is Christ who dwells within us. Galatians 2:20 states, “I have been crucified with Christ, and I do not live anymore, but Christ lives within me.” Each day, we must submit and let Christ guide our lives. We ought to pray and have faith in His direction, allowing His strength to work within us in every circumstance. It’s no longer focused on us managing situations but permitting Him to operate within us.
Being a new creation entails embodying Christ’s character—compassion, patience, humility, and kindness. Hindi palaging simple, ngunit sa tulong ng Banal na Espiritu, maaari tayong umunlad sa mga aspetong ito. Daily, we ought to aim to demonstrate one of Christ’s qualities in our dealings, particularly during tough times. Additionally, we must remember that as new creations, we are also tasked with sharing this hope with others. We are His representatives, and our task is to share His message of renewal in Christ.

Being a new creation means letting go of the past and living with a new beginning. Ang aking mga pagkakamali, pagkabigo, at takot ay hindi na ako ang tinutukoy ng dahil kay Cristo. Sa halip, binigyan ako ng kalayaan, pag-asa, at bagong simula. Ang bagong buhay na ito ay nagtuturo sa akin na makita ang sarili ko sa iba pang paraan at mamuhay nang may kapayapaan, tapang, at layunin.
Ito rin ang nagpapaalala sa akin na ang tunay na pagbabago ay nagmumula sa araw-araw na pagtitiwala kay God. I cannot live this new life by my own effort, but by allowing him to guide me. As I grow, my thoughts and actions begin to change.
Ang pagiging bago ay nagbibigay sa akin ng mission. Ang pagbabagong ito ay hindi lang para sa akin, para rin sa iba. By sharing our story, living with joy, and showing kindness, we can inspire others to find hope and experience a new beginning.

ReplyDeleteThis study has reminded me of the incredible gift of being a new creation in Christ. It's not just about knowing it, but living it out daily. I need to actively recognize my new identity, let Christ guide me, and renew my mind with His Word. It's a journey, but one filled with hope and purpose. I'm grateful for the reminder to share this message with others, so they too can experience this new life.

NEW CREATION REALITIES - A BIBLE STUDY
REFLECTION:
After reading this, it opened my eyes to the truth that a new identity means that I am no longer tied to my past or living under the weight of my past anymore and it gives me a new chance to start over and a new identity in him. It calls me to live differently, showing love, patience, and humility just like Christ. I know the path is not easy but because of the grace of God and through His word and with the guiding of the Holy Spirit I can grow and hold tightly to my faith. In this study I realized that my new identity in Christ is not just meant for me, it is also meant to be shared with others. I want to make my life a testimony so that others can come to know the hope and new beginning Jesus offers. Sa madaling salita ang pagkakaintindi ko dito ay Ang pagiging bagong nilalang kay Cristo ay paalala na araw-araw may bago tayong simula at pagkakataong mamuhay para sa Kanya.

My Reflection
Habang binabasa ko po itong Bible study, narealize ko kung gaano kaimportante na makita ko ang sarili ko bilang bagong nilalang kay Cristo.Nakaka-encourage kasi na kahit po may mga times na bumabalik ang negative thoughts, puwede kong i-remind ang sarili ko na “I am a new creation in Christ.”Na-touch din po ako sa part na si Christ mismo ang source ng buhay ko.Isa sa pinaka-nakapagpa-reflect po sa akin ay yung eternal perspective. Kapag iniisip ko na may buhay pa after this world, nag-iiba yung priorities ko. Mas nagiging meaningful ang bawat araw dahil alam kong may eternal reward na naghihintay sa mga faithful kay God.Finally, narealize ko po na hindi lang pala para sa akin ang transformation na ito. As a new creation, I am also called to share this message with others.Kaya sa reflection po na ito, masasabi ko na ang pagiging “new creation” ay hindi lang isang title,it’s a lifestyle. Araw-araw, kailangan kong piliin na lumakad kasama si Cristo, magpatuloy sa pagbabago, at i-share ang Good News sa iba.

NEW CREATION REALITIES
When we accepted Christ, we gained a completely different identity. Our relationship with Christ, not our past errors or societal expectations, is what defines us. According to 2 Corinthians 5:17, "If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation." This demonstrates that we have overcome all of our past mistakes, guilt, and shame. With God, we start over. Thus, regardless of any obstacles, we must declare daily that we are a fresh creation, and this mindset will transform us. outlook for the future and for ourselves.
Our lives no longer revolve around relying solely on our physical prowess. Christ lives in us. "I have been crucified with Christ, and I do not live anymore, but Christ lives within me," according to Galatians 2:20. Every day, we must surrender and allow Christ to direct our lives. We should have faith in His guidance, pray, and let His power work within us in every situation. It is no longer about us controlling events but allowing Him to work inside us.
Embracing Christ's nature—compassion, patience, humility, and kindness—is necessary to be a new creation. It is not always easy, but with the help of the Holy Spirit, we can grow in these areas. In our relationships, we should strive to reflect one of Christ's virtues on a daily basis, especially when things are difficult. Furthermore, we must keep in mind that we are also responsible for sharing this hope with others as new creations. We are His ambassadors, and it is our responsibility to spread His message of rebirth through Christ.

Kasi ang expected ng iba sakin ay makaka pasa ako pero ang ending hindi pala. Halos gabi gabi akong umiiyak moon, tina tanong ko sa sarili ko kung bakit? bakit hindi ako naka pasa? pero na alala ko ang diyos. Tunay ngang maka pangyarihan ang diyos kasi binigyan niya ako ng sign na hindi nga siguro para sakin yung school na yun at meron siyang inilaan para sakin. Kaya ito ako Ngayon muling bumangon at ipag papatuloy ang inilaan ng diyos para sakin. Lagi nating tatandaan na kasama natin ang diyos sa lahat, hindi tayo nag iisa.

New Creation Realities
When the Bible says that anyone in Christ is a new creation, it means that God gives me a brand new life and identity. In the past po, I used to do things that hurt others and I found it hard to forgive people who made mistakes against me. But when I prayed and surrendered my life to God, He changed my heart and taught me how to forgive freely. This is part of the new creation reality that the old me, full of anger and pride, is gone, and the new me is now guided by God’s love. Through Christ, I learned not only to forgive others but also to let go of my own mistakes and accept His grace. God also showed me how to value and love myself, because I am His child and a new creation in Him. Living in this reality means walking each day with peace, love, and a renewed purpose that reflects Christ in my life.

For me, being a "new creation" in Christ isn’t just a doctrine—it’s a daily journey of unlearning old patterns and embracing who God says I am. Before, I defined myself by mistakes, insecurities, or what others thought. But when I surrendered to Jesus, He didn’t just forgive my past; He gave me a new identity: beloved child, forgiven, and empowered by His Spirit. This reality hits hardest when I face failure or doubt—I remind myself: "I’m not my mistakes. I’m a work in progress, held by grace." It’s not about being perfect; it’s about letting His love rewrite my story. When I live from this truth, I can love others more freely, extend grace without guilt, and walk with purpose, knowing He’s making all things new—including me.

1. For me, being a new creation makes me stop living in guilt because I know my past doesn’t determine my worth, and also it's doesn't dictate my present life. That's why I know ngayon na I can already move forward and start a new beginning because God help me to.
2. Living by faith in the Son of God means I surrender my plans to Him even when I don’t understand, instead of forcing myself trying to do everything on my own.
3. Honestly for me, I renew my mind each day by praying before I touch my phone and by choosing to think positively when negative thoughts come.
4. Knowing my old self is crucified with Christ reminds me during temptations that I don’t have to give in, because the old me who was controlled by sin doesn’t exist anymore.
5. In my experience, I let the Holy Spirit guide me by asking for His wisdom before making decisions, like when I feel pressured at school or at home, and by pausing to listen instead of reacting right away.
6. I reflect Christ’s character by treating others with respect even when I don’t feel like it, and by forgiving instead of holding grudges.
7. I stand firm in Christ’s authority by declaring His promises when fear tries to control me, and reminding myself that He already won over the enemy.
8. For me, an eternal perspective changes how I handle stress because I realize most problems are temporary, but my choices for God have lasting value.
9. I'll share my faith by showing kindness and patience even when it’s hard, because people notice actions more than words.

Part 3 - Sharing with Life Groups
New Creation Realities - A Bible Study
My own reflection
Reading through the New Creation Realities reminds me that being in Christ is not just about believing but truly living with a transformed identity. I am no longer who I used to be—my past, failures, and weaknesses do not define me anymore. Instead, Christ in me has given me a new life, a new purpose, and a new hope.
This challenges me to renew my mind daily with God’s Word, to rely on the Holy Spirit for strength, and to reflect Christ’s character in how I treat people. I realize that living as a new creation is not about striving in my own strength but letting Christ live through me.
It also encourages me to walk in freedom, knowing sin no longer has control over me. I have authority in Christ, and I don’t have to live in fear or defeat. At the same time, my eyes are lifted beyond this world—I am reminded to live with eternity in mind, making choices that matter not just now but forever.
Finally, this study makes me reflect on my responsibility to share this new life with others. The change God has done in me is not meant to stay with me alone; I am called to be an ambassador for Christ. That means being intentional about sharing my story, my faith, and the hope I have in Jesus with those around me.

New Creation Realities - A Bible Study
My own reflection:
New version of yourself kumbaga, Sabi sa Bible, “If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation” kaya ang dati kong pagkakamali ay napatawad na.This gives me peace and assurance na hindi na ako defined by my past.Bagong buhay at bagong identity na ang ibinigay ni Jesus sa akin.Minsan mahirap kasi bumabalik pa rin ang old struggles, pero I am reminded that God’s grace is greater.The Holy Spirit helps me to walk in righteousness and to live with purpose.
This study made me realize na I have authority in Christ. Importante ang palaging nananalig at nagtitiwla sa Panginoon,kasi siya lang ang nakakakilala sa atinnng buo at tanggap tayo kahit sno man ang ating mga anyo,pagkatao at ugaling meron tayo. So, moving forward, I want to be more intentional in applying these things in my life. Pray more, read the Bible, and really try to reflect Christ's character in my actions and in daily life.
• As a student I can share my faith by sharing the gospel to others, helping others, sharing about Heavenly father and Jesus Christ or by partaking of sacrament and by reading the book of Mormon or the bible and pwede din natin ito ishare sa mga taong interesado about kay Jesus Christ and Heavenly father.
ReplyDelete• sharing my testimony to does people na di pa alam about the gospel is sobrang gaan sa feelings kasi alam mo sa sarili mo na may natulongan ka naman dahil may na ishare ka about the gospel and about kay Jesus Christ and Heavenly father na kung gaano nila tayu kamahal.

Reflecting on this Bible study, I'm struck by the profound implications of being a "new creation" in Christ. It's not just about a one-time conversion, but a continuous transformation. Understanding that my identity is rooted in Christ, not in my past, challenges me to shift my perspective and renew my mind daily. Living by faith, surrendering to the Holy Spirit, and actively resisting sin are ongoing commitments. This study encourages me to intentionally reflect Christ's character in my interactions, exercise my spiritual authority, and maintain an eternal perspective. Sharing this message with others becomes not just an obligation, but a natural outflow of the life-changing reality I've experienced. It's a call to live out this new creation with purpose and expectation.

Reflection
Sharing the Gospels to others means having a responsibility with consistency within it. Sharing the Gospels to others doesn’t just mean sharing it once literally. It also meant sharing it always for the other people to know about the good news of the Gospel and it’s also meant more than just a responsibility but also a genuine actions towards everyone. We have to share the gospel to everyone with all our heart and soul. Also in order to share the Gospels to others, you and I need to pray for opportunities about sharing it to others to come and share our knowledge about the good news and accept Jesus Christ as our Lord to our minds and hearts.

4. Walking in Freedom from Sin
~ Dealing with temptation and sin can't be prevented but I can avoid it by having faith with God and never doubting Him. Knowing that my old self is crucified is enough for me to know that I am forgiven and I should live with God's grace.
5. Relying on the Holy Spirit’s Guidance
~ The Holy Spirit is within me and acts like my compass, and by listening and obeying what He's telling me, naa-align ako towards God's will. Aside from listening and obeying, one thing that I also allow the Holy Spirit to lead me is praying and asking for His guidance everyday.
6. Reflecting Christ’s Character

This message is a powerful reminder that our walk with Christ is not just about believing, but about truly living out our new identity in Him. Recognizing that I am a new creation in Christ gives me confidence that my past no longer defines me. Instead, Christ’s life within me brings hope, strength, and renewal each day.
Allowing the Holy Spirit to work in me means surrendering my own will and letting God’s Spirit guide my thoughts, actions, and decisions. As I continue to embrace these truths, I realize that my character, attitude, and even the way I respond to challenges can reflect Christ more and more. This transformation may not happen overnight, but it is a daily process—one that leads me from glory to glory.
What encourages me most is the promise of freedom, authority, and hope that come with being a new creation. I am reminded that I don’t walk this journey alone; God is actively shaping me into His image. This gives me courage to trust Him in every season of life and to believe that each day is an opportunity for growth and deeper intimacy with Him.
In the end, living in the New Creation Realities means living with purpose, freedom, and assurance that Christ is alive in me—and that through Him, I am continually being transformed.

1. Recognizing your new identity in Christ
- Understanding that I'm a new creation in Christ helps me see myself and my past differently. Instead of feeling defined by my mistakes or things I've gone through, I can focus on who I am now. My past doesn't have to hold me back because I'm a new person with a fresh start, and that changes how I view my life moving forward.
2. Living with Christ as your source of life
-My life isn't about what I can accomplish on my own because I believe in the Son of God. It's about putting my faith in Jesus to lead me and give me the courage I need. I'm sending in to His plan and trusting that His sacrifice and love are sufficient, rather than depending on my own efforts. It's similar to going from a torch with a dead battery to an always-on power outlet. I get a new type of strength from this perspective, one that comes from Christ living inside of me rather than from myself.
3. Renewing your mind and Walking in the Spirit
-To renew my mind, I can read the Bible and pray every day to stay focused on God's will. I'll also try to be aware of my thoughts and actions, asking the Holy Spirit for help in making choices that honor Him.
4. Walking in Freedom from Sin
-According to the text, understanding that my "old self" was crucified with Christ frees me from the power of sin, which helps me deal with temptation and sin. I can live a new, decent life because Christ has eliminated my old, sinful nature. Because I'm no longer influenced by my past actions and can select another path, this gives me the strength to resist temptation.
5. Relying on the Holy Spirit's Guidance
-To allow the Holy Spirit to guide me, I can read the Bible more often and pray for wisdom and understanding. By spending time in prayer and reflecting on God's word, I believe the Holy Spirit can help me align my choices and actions with what God wants for my life.
6. Reflecting Christ's Character
-As a student, I think reflecting Christ's character means trying to be more like him in how I treat others every day. I can show Christ's character in my daily life by being more patient and kind with my friends, especially when they're having a tough time. I can also try to be humble and not boast about my achievements, and be loving and helpful to my family and classmates.
7. Exercising your Authority in Christ
-As a student, I can stand firm in Christ's authority by putting on the full armor of God and trusting in His strength, not my own. According to the Bible, I don't have to live in fear since I have the ability to defeat the enemy. I can defeat evil and live in victory if I have faith in that authority.
8. Living with Hope and Expectation of Eternity
-An eternal perspective can change how I live by helping me focus on what's truly important and lasting. It leads my priorities to change from temporary items to things that last forever, such as developing my character, showing kindness to others, and making choices that will benefit me in the long run.
9. Sharing the New Creation Message
I can share my faith by living it out every day, being kind and honest with everyone I meet. I can also invite friends to church or a Bible study. When the time is right, I can tell them my own story about how my faith has changed my life.
