God has many examples of firsts and the seconds all through scripture:

The first Adam and the second Adam, Jesus.

The first son, Cain and the second son, Abel.

The first son, Ishmael and the second son, Isaac.

The first son, Esau and the second son, Jacob.

The first King, Saul and the Second King, David.

The first covenant and the second covenant.

The first coming of Christ and the second coming of Christ.

The first heaven and earth and the new heaven and new earth.

The first death and the second death.

The first birth and being born again.

Therefore, I won’t wake up tomorrow or live this day or the next without the presence of God. All my days to come will remain with Him being present in my every moment - I have lived in and experienced the first way of living and I am happy to remain in the second. I choose the second me, the new me, the changed me, the redeemed me and I will make the same choice every single day because the old has passed and I choose to remain in the new. I choose this because, I choose Him. He is mine and I am His and nothing will ever convince me, sway me or tempt me to choose the first ever again. The old has gone and the new is here to stay!

Sandra Parish

If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.
