Rev.21:5 He who sits on the throne said, "Behold, I am making all things new." He said, "Write, for these words of God are faithful and true."

Are God’s words faithful and true? That is the question we must face, if not, then we must believe God’s words are not? What is old, and what is new, should we just think that what is in our flesh birthed into sin is new, or should we think as the divine and Holy word of God says, all is vanity, and there is nothing new under the Sun?

Romans 6:6 knowing this, that our old man was crucified with him, that the body of sin might be done away with, so that we would no longer be in bondage to sin.

Romans 5:12 Therefore, as sin entered into the world through one man, and death through sin; and so death passed to all men, because all sinned.

Ecclesiastes 1:9 That which has been is that which shall be; and that which has been done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.

You see, everything is created in patterns, and the reason we call them patterns is that they repeat themselves. Either the do or they don’t?

So those created in sin have a pattern, nor do they change, but just repeat themselves, and live and die in sin just as Solomon said there is nothing new under the Sun about sin new it is the same old pattern from generation to generation, death to death!

Can we educate ourselves out of sin, can we invent
our way out of sin, can we study our way out of sin? Well, the question answer itself by thousand of years of empirical evidence; no we cannot and if we think we can we are hard head and refuses to admit mankind in their very best efforts will never evolve out of sin?

No we won’t ever find those words true as we die in our sins, but what of the good intention of religion that wants us to believe the flesh can be made new, a better flesh by its teaching will those teaching hold up under light of biblical examination?

Matthew 6:23 But if your eye is evil, your whole body will be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in you is darkness, how great is the darkness!

You see, flesh loves flesh because salvation for the flesh comes from the flesh. Oh yes, the flesh in it very best intention will tell you how Christ in his flesh went back to heaven and present to his Holy Father YHWH his flesh, thus, some how that magically lets our old dying flesh that is dying in sin from the corruption of sin acceptable by works of law, that is, a good a sacrifice for something, making the old somehow now new flesh, bring forth something good, new, and from a corrupted tree, how does that work?

1 John 1:5 This is the message which we have heard from him and announce to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.

Matt.7:17 Even so, every good tree produces good fruit; but the corrupt tree produces evil fruit.
7:18 A good tree can't produce evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree produce good fruit.

Now if we want to believe that filthy lie, by living in the filth of our own flesh, well, we can! But you see, what these educated genius aren’t saying is that only Christ had an unfilthy flesh, like Adam, was before he sinned and corrupted all of us in sin.

1 Corinthians 15:22 For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive.

1 Peter 3:21 This is a symbol of baptism, which now saves you--not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

That's right all born into sin from Adam is old, and daha, and not new, and all born into Christ the last Adam without sin are new! The very purpose God sent his son to us was because we could not put away the filth of our flesh, and for that reason we cannot reform our way out of sin!

Romans 7:18 For I know that in me, that is, in my flesh, dwells no good thing. For desire is present with me, but I don't find it doing that which is good.

How can a person born into a pattern of sin, stop the pattern? Well, they can’t or there would be no pattern in the first place. It is the weak and feeble minded that believe that by works they can make themselves new in some manner of their flesh born into sin and death.

Yes, many do believe that untruth in their hearts because of false religious teachings. However, our believing the lies of false religion thinking we can make ourselves new by works of law is a person that has built their house of faith upon a sandy corrupted foundation. Conversely, those building their house of faith upon the rock mass of Christ alone will not come to disappointment.

We are made new by the life of Christ in us he who presented his worthy flesh that had merit in it; enough to purchase all of us from our corruption of sin and death. He alone was the sinless lamb of God, none other, not one was found righteous among mankind to redeem his brother, no not one! Only one God sent us, was righteous enough to present himself before God to redeem us, and we must accept his merit by grace and not works of law!

So try as we will, and we will because of the pattern we are born into (sin), or we won’t because we stop boasting in our flesh dead in Christ. We are born new, not of flesh and blood but by God’s will by the Spirit and truth.

John 1:13 who were born not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

John 3:3 Jesus answered him, "Most certainly, I tell you, unless one is born anew,{The word translated "anew" here and in John 3:7 (another) also means "again" and "from above".} he can't see the Kingdom of God."

That is the context that God is stating all those of him will be made new, not of sin in flesh and blood, but new as son’s of God, made new in the birth of Spirit and truth.

Galatians 5:5 For we, through the Spirit, by faith wait for the hope of righteousness.

Philippians 1:11 being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.

Philippians 3:9 and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own, that which is of the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith;
