The Same

Hey guys,
So I wanted to share something that stood out to me during a message at my church this past Saturday. The guy who was speaking, Bryant Hutchinson, said that the new creation that the Bible talks about in 2 Corinthians 5:17 is the same as the pre-sin Adam.

That really stood out to me because i always thought of the "new creation" as a list of qualities we need to live up to. It is. but it's so much more. before Adam and Eve fell to sin, they had a close connection with God. not just all those qualities. They were close. They interacted constantly with God. that's what Paul was talking about to the Corinthians.
