The old you was not real, it was simply what you thought you were.
And the new you is not real either, because it is simply a new false ego.
You have b ew life, and he now calls himself Bob Smith.
Do you understand now.....its all role playing.

======================================
My ego may be problematic. But it is not false. I am not an illusion. And the love of God for me is practical and real.
God loves
you. If you become a falcon or a prince in some next life, that person or thing has its OWN problems. The Savior God is concerned with you and I and our lives right now.
It is you that God loves.
================================
The old you was not real, it was simply what you thought you were.
======================================
The thinking one is real or else he could not think to be anything.
You have no idea of any previous person or life you supposedly were before YOU were born. God loves YOU. It is not God loves the next guy after you are gone. It is YOU that God loves.
Is it you that He desires to save spirit and soul and body and not just soul or spirit. That is why Christ demonstrated the resurrection of Lazarus from the dead in
John 11. And that is why He demonstrated His own resurrection from the dead.
He loves not only your soul and your spirit. He loves your arms, your eyes, your elbows, your head. He is the savior of the body. He loves YOU.
==============================
And the new you is not real either, because it is simply a new false ego.
You have been taking birth millions of times and identifying with the dust.
John Smith dust, Craig Watson dust, Mary Smith dust, Bob Sanders dust.....and you were never any of these false identities.
====================================
Christ dies and rose for each person.
" ... the life which I now live in the flesh I live in faith, the faith of the Son of God Who loved me and gave Himself up for me." (Gal. 2:20)
Christ is the Savior Who loved me and mingles His Spirit with me -
"He who is joined to the Lord is one spirit" ( 1 Cor. 6:17)
As a branch is grafted into a tree so God "organically" binds and blends Jesus Himself with each saved one. If a sick branch is grafted into a healthy tree, the life of the healthy tree can flow into the branch and heal it.
God saves man by grafting into the Son of God Jesus. It is YOU that He loves. And in each person's own life they are saved each, by being attached deep within to the Lord Jesus.
He loves you and gave Himself up for you.
==================================
You are a spiritual soul part of God, and you real identity is a spiritual identity that at the moment is covered by the false identity and illusion.
===================================
The life of God can be born into me through receiving Jesus as Lord and Savior.
When I see that He died for me, in His resurrection I can see that He can live for me, from within me.
I need cleansing in the eternal redemption of Christ before Christ can live in me as the Holy Spirit the
"life giving Spirit" .
"The last Adam became a life giving Spirit" (1 Cor. 15:45) This life giving Spirit is God, is Jesus - Who is God become our born, crucified and resurrected Savior.
==================================
When Jaywill dies, the soul which is really you, will take another birth and grows up to an adult human called maybe Bob Smith........but it is the same soul with a new identity.....and the identity called Jaywill is gone forever for the people who new Jaywill.
============================
I have been crucified with Christ and buried with Christ. I have been raised with Christ to walk in newness of life.
Christ is my history and my destiny. Christ is all I need. Christ is all God has to give me.
===================================
But Jaywill hasn't gone forever, but he has taken a different identity to live a fresh new life, and he now calls himself Bob Smith.
=======================================
The fresh new life I can live is by receiving Christ as Lord.
"So then if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away; behold, they have become new." (2 Cor. 5:17)
My new beginning is Jesus Christ.
==========================
Do you understand now.....its all role playing.
===============================
Yes. But there is only one new Person that each man and woman needs. That is the resurrected Jesus Christ the Son of Man, the Son of God.
"We have been buried into His death, in order that just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so also we might walk in newness of life.
For if we have grown together with Him in the likeness of His death, indeed we will also be in the likeness of His resurrection." (Romans 5:4,5)
The old things are passed away. In the realm of Christ we are a new creation.
In Him the saved grows into the likeness of Christ.
The Jesus Who has come into the heart spreads and saturates the soul blending the saved sinner with the eternal life of the Triune God.
In the end even the body is resurrected, glorified, and we are saved to the uttermost - not another who you were reincarnated to. But you yourself are forgiven, sanctified, transformed, resurrected, glorified, divinized and deified.
Swallowed up in immortality - YOU - Vish whom Christ loved and died and rose for.
