“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has passed away, behold, the new has come.” -2 Corinthians 5:17
The Church teaches that faith is “to entrust oneself wholly to God and to believe absolutely what he says” [CCC 150]. This is to make an act of the will to repent and give your life to Jesus Christ. Many refer to the joy, peace and conviction from this decision as becoming a “new creation” or being “born again”. In reality, it is the fulfillment of the effects of our baptismal graces where we were “born of water and the Spirit” [John 3:5]. It is our second conversion, and it is necessary for all of us baptized as infants. God has no grandchildren, only children! He will not force us to entrust ourselves wholly to him and believe absolutely what he says. That is our choice. There is no greater New Year’s Resolution than to make that decision each and every day of 2017!
