We Do Not Recognize Believers According to the Flesh - Michael Edwards

God tells us that all who believe the gospel have become a new creation in Christ. This is a promise from our heavenly Father, who cannot lie. If your faith is in Christ, God sees you right now as a new creation born of God, in Christ, in the Spirit.

Therefore from now on we recognize/ regard no one according to the flesh; even though we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know Him in this way no longer.

When God Says Drop It: Chronicles of my Healing
Donna Martelli

Strange and seemingly unrelated symptoms continued to plague me. My PCP told me that there was nothing more that she could do. She refused to see me anymore for these same symptoms, although nothing that she had come up with had helped in any way. Her final conclusion was that it must be stress!
