This section is probably the most applicable to our daily lives today with the Lord Jesus. Paul was instructed to teach us gentiles what it looks like to be an infant and mature Christian in Christ. We will focus our attention on the difference between these two Christians and will also focus on other topics like Heart, Grace/works, flesh/spirit, law, and old self/new self, freedom, suffering, reconciliation, promise, Love, and Kingdom of God. Paul gives us the proper understanding of Jesus and what it looks like to live a life in Christ. THEREFORE, IF ANYONE IS IN CHRIST, THEY ARE A NEW CREATION. THE OLD HAS PASSED AWAY; BEHOLD, THE NEW HAS COME. 2 CORINTHIANS 5:17
