Puritan Board Freshman
I have always wondered if this phrase," a new creation " has any connection with the New Heavens & New Earth spoken of in other Old and New Testament scriptures. What I mean is that when Christ was raised from the dead and became the Firstfruits spoken of in 1 Corinthians 15:20 to 28 at that moment in the Spiritual realm in redeemed souls in Christ did the unseen aspect of the Kingdom of Heaven have its begining for us? And at the end of the world and with the beginning of the vissible Kingdom the physical manifestation of the Spiritual reality is this hinted at in the phrase from 2 Corinthians 5:17 and other like portions of scripture refferences?
