A New Type Of Man



"Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed
away; behold, all things are become new" (2 Corinthians 5:17).

he Greek rendering of this Scripture says, If any man be in Christ he is a new

species of being. its not merely referring to a new life that has just begun, but
also to newness in type! This means the new creation is a new type of man; he belongs
to a new race. Hes not just a fresh breed or a fresh one of the same kind; rather, hes
one of a kind that never existed before! Hes a fresh one of a new type of man! I like to
call him The New Superman in Christ. Jesus is the first among this class of supermen!
He is the second Adam and the Bible says we all have been born according to His
similitude, meaning were like Him. Jesus is the Head of this new type of man from this
new race. He is the Head of the Body, the Church. This new type of man is neither
subject to satan nor needs deliverance. He doesnt need faith either, because he was
born with it; he was created with the measure of faith. Hes a superior being!
This new type of man doesnt have a problem with sin. In other words, he can choose
not to lie and he wont. Sin doesnt have dominion over him. Any Christian who has
problems with sin is not yet acquainted with the doctrine of righteousness. Hes yet to
discover who he truly is; thats why he still struggles with certain habits. When youre
born again, youre not someone who turned a new leaf or changed from living the bad
life to a good life. No! The day you received Christ, you became a new creation; you
received a new life. Observe what the scripture says, ...if any man be in Christ, he is a
new creature...; hes not going to be, he is! Is is a now word, a present-hour reality!
Youre not going to be a new creation when you get to heaven, youre a new creation
now! Youre no longer what your mother gave birth to or what your daddy used to
know; youre a new creation, one who never existed before. You dont have a past. As
far as God is concerned, your life started the day you made Jesus your Lord. Youre a
new type of man; you have a new life in Christ. Brace up to this truth and begin to walk
in this newness of life!
