Over the years every console developer has had their own specific naming style for each version of their hardware… but if I’m being honest, I’ve always found Microsoft’s choices to be a little confusing. After their original system was given the simple moniker “Xbox”, they went with “Xbox 360” for their second console before completely descending into utter madness by naming their third home gaming system the “Xbox One”… and of course, they followed that up with the “Xbox One X” because why not. Sure, a progressive numbering system would be easier for everyone, but Microsoft didn’t see these projects as mere sequels of what came before them… they saw each console as something entirely new.

In our rebirth in Christ, we are not just a new and enhanced version or a sequel of what we once were… when we accept His Lordship in our life we become a completely new creation in His eyes. While our inner transformation is a lifelong process of continuing growth, we are not simply the same person with a clean slate and a new calling… we carry an entirely new name and can walk into the destiny that He designed for us with confidence. No matter what others may call us or if we once identified ourselves as hopeless, worthless, broken, forsaken, or desolate, He delights in each of us and He calls us “beautiful”.

You shall no longer be termed Forsaken, nor shall your land any more be termed Desolate; but you shall be called Hephzibah, and your land Beulah; for the Lord delights in you. Isaiah 62:4a

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. 2 Corinthians 5:17
