Ep 59: Stop Grave Digging ("Made For More" by Josh Baldwin)
from Lyric and Letter: Worship in The Word
What if the reason you keep falling back into old patterns isn't because you're weak—but because you keep trying to resurrect what God has already declared dead?In today's episode, we sit with "Made For More" by Josh Baldwin and dive deep into 2 Corinthians 5:17 to discover what it really means to be a new creation. When we dig into the original Greek, we find that God didn't just improve you—He created something unprecedented. You are kaine ktisis, a species that had never existed until Jesus rose from the dead. So why do we keep trying to resurrect the old self to manage other people's comfort levels? Why do we keep tending graves instead of living in resurrection freedom?In This Episode:The radical meaning of kaine ktisis and why it changes everything about your identityWhy we keep trying to resurrect what God has declared deadHow to worship the Father in spirit and truth instead of seeking human approvalWhy only the Holy Spirit can break the people-pleasing cycleListen to "Made For More" by Josh Baldwin:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/track/57Y8B1iHsS3psJc2BUZ3Mw?si=6150cb846c724074 Apple Music: https://music.apple.com/us/song/made-for-more-live-feat-jenn-johnson/1748014416 YouTube Music: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ov9Ls4npIrc Want to go deeper?Download the devotional: https://lyricandletter.com/devotionalThematic Verse Mapping: https://www.ThematicVerseMapping.comConnect in our Facebook community: https://facebook.com/groups/lyricandletterJoin our newsletter: https://www.lyricandletter.comCopyright Disclaimer under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976: This episode may contain copyrighted material for the purpose of commentary, teaching, and spiritual reflection.
