A New Creature
God gave us a commandment to love one another as he loves us. Which means love must be the center of whatever you do. If love is not the center of whatever you do, everything you do is nothing. The Word of God is a command to be obeyed. Obeying God’s commands strengthens the grace of God, brings comforts and resolutions. “This is my commandment, that ye love one another, as I have loved you” (John 15:12 KJV)
There is no need to trouble others, compare yourself with others’ achievements or envy people because they seem to have achieved more than you. Why should you envy anyone? Blessings of God are not always outward things that can be seen or measured neither rites nor ceremonies to be noticed. Riches and happiness come from within, not the outward appearance. Sometimes those things that are outward may be temporary and sometimes may be faked or packaged.
Hence the bible says anyone who envies others is not wise because he or she cannot not see far or has knowledge of the unseen aspects. God’s blessings can manifest in righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost. Christians are the temple of God. As the Temple which God dwells in, love, humility, and meekness are the greatest manifestation of Christ in his children. Christ in the heart of a man is more than material blessings. Your nature testifies that God lives in you and works through you. If it is true that God works through you, every credit or discredit belongs to God.
“For we are God’s fellow workers [His servants working together]; you are God’s cultivated field [His garden, His vineyard], God’s building” (1 Corinthians 3:9AMP). “And his “workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works” (Ephesians 2:10). “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 KJV).
