| New Life, New Day, New Promise! |
2 Corinthians 5:17
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.
As I come to you this morning we have baptized two people and visited with a family that has welcomed a new baby to their family, and met with another family about dedicating their child. Yes,the mantra of this message is about a New Life, New Day, and a New Promise in the fact that the love,and the forgiveness of Christ was given for all who just turn to him.
As we enter this Monday morning, we that are followers of Christ understand that this is not just another day, but rather a new day of opportunities as a new creation to share the gospel. Yesterday I shared the message that the past is the past and everyday is a new opportunity to make positive choices and positive decisions.
In Paul's first letter to Timothy, he states that his past was horrible and if God could forgive him, anyone could be forgiven. When we accepted Christ as our Lord and Savior we understood that we are a new creation and we are as a new born child in the fact that we have been forgiven and have a fresh start to begin again.
Often we find that it is harder to forgive ourselves and we are harder on ourselves in reference to our past. My prayer for you is that you understand that today is a new day and that through Christ you are a new creation with new possibilities and new promises because of Christ Jesus.
Be New Today
Pastor Tim
