Paul writes: "So if anyone is in Christ, there is a new creation: everything old has passed away; see, everything has become new!" (2 Corinthians 5:17).
John Killinger tells the story of a man deeply depressed and alone in a hotel room. He is a successful business man but now he finds himself worrying about everything. He had not prayed before but now having reached the depths of despair, he cries out to God. He thought he heard God responding to him saying, "It doesn't have to be that way."
Returning home he sought out his brother who happened to be a minister and asked him, "Do you think God was speaking to me?" His brother assured him that it could very well be God speaking to him because the heart of the message of the Bible was that people could change. Jesus can change your life and make you a new person he told his brother. Later, the man told his brother, "I have become a new person because of Jesus, as you said."
