“This means
that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is
gone; a new life has begun!” - 2 Corinthians 5:17 New
Living Translation
This
is the time of year when resolutions abound and are forgotten a short time later.
Here’s one that is worth keeping: Do your level best to imitate Christ in your
daily life. When you receive Christ into your life you are changed on the
inside, not the outside. You don’t look any different, you just think
differently and look at things from a different perspective. You haven’t been
reformed, rehabilitated or reeducated; you’ve been re-created. You are in union
with Christ and no longer of this world.
So
when you look at the New Year looming before you, know that each day is a new opportunity
to make right choices and bless others.
As believers in Christ we never simply turn over a new leaf; we begin a
new life. Don’t become mired in the
past, for you are no longer who you were prior to knowing Christ, you are who
God says you are, righteous & holy in his sight. Have a happy, healthy,
blessed New Year! Until next time, walk with the king and be a blessing!
