"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!" 2
Corinthians 5:17
At this time it is good to think about starting anew. This is what happens to us when Jesus Christ comes into our lives — He makes us new people spiritually! Jesus said we could be born again — we would start out fresh like new born babies when we ask Jesus into our lives to be our Savior.
You can ask God to give you a clean slate. When you accept Christ as Savior, God forgives us our sins — He casts our sins from us as far as the east is from the west.
Unfortunately we still have our old natures to contend with — we are still tempted to lie, or to cheat, or to steal, or to be immoral. But you can choose to walk in the power of the Holy Spirit — and you can overcome your old sinful nature. You are a new creature in Jesus Christ! "Walk in the Spirit, and you will not carry out the desires of the flesh."
Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth."
2 Timothy 2:15
You can study about God! God is the most wonderful being in the universe. He created the heavens and the earth; He loves us so much He sent His Son Jesus to die for us; He sent His Holy Spirit to live inside us as Christians. He is loving, and just, and kind, and merciful. We have so much to learn about Him!
You can learn about God and how to live a Christian life. There are good books to help you, but the best source is the Bible itself.
I encourage you to take some time each day to learn about God.
This week, can you please pray that:
