Did you know when God made the new creation? God created a new creation on the eighth day. After He made the new creation (নতুন মানুষ), He entered His rest.
The creation of the heavens and the earth and all the host
God created the heavens and the earth, and all the hosts of them, in seven days. The creation was perfect until man sinned. When man sinned, the whole creation became affected by evil. Because of sin, the creation wasn’t perfect anymore.
But God already had a new creation in mind: a new man, with whom He could have a relationship again. Just like He had with Adam before he became disobedient to God and sinned.
This new creation would regain the authority in Christ over the heaven and the earth and all the hosts of them. This new creation is a son of God (এটি পুরুষ ও মহিলা উভয়ের ক্ষেত্রেই প্রযোজ্য) and would live as a son of God in obedience to the Father.
যাহোক, God didn’t create this new creation immediately. But God created the new creation after approximately 4000 years (76 generations after Adam).
Jesus was the Firstborn of the new creation
God sent His Son Jesus to the earth to reveal God to man and fulfill the will of the Father and the redemptive work for fallen man. Jesus was the Firstborn of the new creation. He was born of the Spirit but lived in the flesh on earth. Jesus was without sin, because He was conceived by the Seed of the Holy Spirit and not by the evil seed of man.
Jesus grew up with the Scriptures. When Jesus was about 30 years of age, Jesus was baptised in water, to lay down His flesh.
After His baptism and during hIs prayer, Jesus received the baptism with the Holy Spirit.
The Holy Spirit led Him to the wilderness so that He would make His flesh subjected to the Spirit.
During 40 days in the wilderness, Jesus was tempted by the devil. But Jesus didn’t give in to the desires of the flesh. He didn’t listen and obey the devil, but He stayed loyal and obedient to God.
After forty days, Jesus returned from the wilderness and walked as the new Creation; the new Man, as Son of God in the power of the Holy Spirit.
Jesus preached and brought the Kingdom of God to the people, with signs and wonders following Him.
The promise of the Comforter; পবিত্র আত্মা
Jesus announced His death to His disciples. He explained to them, that He had to lay down His life for the people so that more ‘new creations’, more of His species, could be born.
Jesus promised them the coming of another Comforter; পবিত্র আত্মা. When they would receive the baptism with the Holy Spirit, they would receive power, and it would become possible for them, to live as sons of God.
The Holy Spirit would be their Teacher and would guide them into all truth.
Just like Jesus was baptized in water and with the Holy Spirit, His followers would also be baptized in water and with the Holy Spirit. They would become the new creation; born by the Spirit of God. They would become the sons of God on the earth.
The blood of Jesus
When the time came, for Jesus to lay down His life, He became a Sacrifice for the whole humanity. Jesus took all sins and iniquities of humanity upon Himself. He gave His life for them. Jesus died on the cross and shed His blood. But He didn’t stay dead.
After three days, on the eighth day, He was risen from the death.
Jesus conquered death, and had taken back the keys of authority (that the devil took from Adam) from the devil.
On the eighth day, when Jesus was raised from the death, He had all authority in heaven and on earth, and all the host (the authority that God originally had given to Adam, before he sinned).
Jesus had made it possible, that by His blood, everyone who would believe in Him would become this new creation.
On the eighth day, when Jesus was raised from the death, the new creation began; the new covenant in Jesus Christ.
A new creation was created born by water and Spirit. Now a new era for the new creation could begin.
God made the new creation on the eighth day
Everyone, who believes in Jesus Christ, ঈশ্বরের পুত্র, accepts Him as Savior and Lord, and becomes born again by water and Spirit, shall be saved and receive eternal life. God has given power to everyone who believes, to become sons of God, and to walk and reign as sons of God.
But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God (by water and by Spirit (জন 1:12-13)).
