In the past house owners have extended their houses with so much architectural flair; the various types of Cape Cod house extensions come to mind. But what is also happening today are complete rebuilds. Homeowners have done their sums and decided to demolish the existing home rather than extending. The result is a completely new home built to their liking!

We can remodel our lives hoping to live more positively. We can strive to live by a self-imposed moral code of ethics. But at best we find ourselves still struggling to live in accordance with those moral absolutes of purity, honesty and love. We too often find that our conscience is disturbed by personal moral failures.

What we need is a fresh understanding of what God has done for us in Christ. Even though we personally have saving faith in the Lord Jesus, we can still be trying to renovate or remodel our lives in our own strength. But there is a better way… God’s rebuild!

When Jesus died on the cross, he was destroying as it were our old life; not a patch up job, but the removal of the old to make way for the new. Picture if you will the empty block, the old house has been demolished and the land is clean and ready for the new build. When Jesus died and rose again, he was destroying the old and replacing it with the new. Ref. 2 Corinthians 5:17. NIV.

Gods rebuild is all about NEW CREATION LIVING! The old has gone the new has come and fully available in Christ Jesus.
