Since Adam and Eve obeyed the devil instead of obeying God, there has been trouble, pain, and death. And then Jesus came. When you receive Him as your Lord and Savior, you are a new creation in Christ. The old carnal, fleshly you has died to you and you have died to it. It’s no longer part of you. For example, 2 Corinthians 5:17 tells us this, “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.” This verse tells you that your identity was transformed when you accepted Christ. If you see reality as it really is, you see yourself as a new being with a fresh start.

And yet, you should be humble. “Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.” (Philippians 2:3-4)

You must see yourself with humility and not think too highly of yourself. Once you were born again, you became an individual special member of Christ the body here on earth joined to every other member of that body in submission to Christ the head in heaven.

As a member of Christ the body on earth, your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit. As 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 says, “Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.” Your life and body belong to God, so you should treat it with respect and honor. Sin dishonors your body. Your spirit is joined in union with the Holy Spirit if you’re born again.

Ask God to answer these questions.

• What really happened with Adam and Eve?
• What did Adam and Eve do that caused trouble, pain, and death?
• Why did Jesus come?
• What does it mean to receive Jesus as your Lord and Savior?
• What does it mean to be a new creation in Christ?

Bonus questions:

• What is the old carnal, fleshly you?
• What does it mean to see yourself as a new being with a fresh start?
• What does it mean to be humble?
• What is the body of Christ?
• What does it mean that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit?

1. Pray for the Lord to protect you and keep you in His presence and His presence only.
2. Direct your mind toward the Lord only.
3. Ask God what He want’s to talk about.
4. You can ask God any questions. In all of this, be led by the Holy Spirit. God promises that He will answer you if you ask Him.
5. Do not edit or change what God says even if you don’t understand it.
6. Reject the lies and receive the truth.
7. Take notes.
8. Transfer your notes to your journal without editing what God said to you.

Keep in mind that God doesn’t want you to ever disconnect from Him. He wants to flow through you constantly in knowledge, wisdom, and love.

Flow Chart Exercise

Create a flow chart suitable for this unit. (Flow Charting Info) Flow charts show the flow of a process. The first thing that happens is usually at the top. That is followed by the second thing, then the third, fourth, and so on.

Let the Holy Spirit lead you in this. (Romans 8:14 For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.) Take what you learned, your notes or what you produced and videotape yourself. Be a kid influencer for Christ with your own social media platform by uploading your video as God leads.
