Day 6 – The Old Order Has Passed Away

Scripture: “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!” – 2 Corinthians 5:17

The brokenness of this world belongs to the “old order,” it ended with the Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross. In Christ, we have been made new, and one day creation itself will be fully renewed. We live in a world marked by the “old order” a system that revolves around sin, decay, hatred and brokenness. This order is identified by death, sorrow, and pain. But Revelation 21:4 reminds us that the old order is temporary. There is a new creation coming, where righteousness dwells and God reigns without opposition.

For those of us that have become Christians, this renewal has already begun in Christ. Through salvation we are new creations, even though we still live in a broken world. Our hearts have been transformed, but our environment still bears the marks of the old order. The tension we feel is the longing for things to be different and this is a sign of the kingdom already at work within us.

This promise challenges us to live as citizens of the new creation, not bound by the values of the old. We are called to walk in holiness, extend compassion, and carry hope into a world desperate for it. Each act of love, each choice for righteousness, reflects the kingdom that is coming.

The old order surrounds us now, but it will not last. There is a day coming when sin, injustice, and suffering will vanish forever, replaced by God’s perfect reign. This promise is the hope we can cling to today.

Question: What part of your life reminds you most of the “old order” that you long to see gone?

Prayer: Dear Heavenly Father, thank You that You are making all things new. Transform my heart daily to reflect Your coming kingdom. Please show me when I start to depend on me, and help me to remove my ego that can get in the way. In Jesus Name Amen
