Newness of Life
Posted By admin1 on March 31, 2010
But new wine must be put into new bottles; and both are preserved (St. Luke 5:38).
Often, when we get a new house we see the need to get new furniture as well. When we get a new outfit we see that the old shoes do not match the new. So is our new life in Christ. The old habits don’t fit anymore. We have to find new ways to fit our walk with Christ, so that we can walk in newness of life (Romans 6: 4). A new life has to be accompanied by a new heart and a new Spirit (Ezekiel 18: 31). David writes, “Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me” (Psalms 51: 10).
God has spared our lives to see another New Year. We are being challenged today to make a fresh start, to make a new beginning so we can be preserved in this New Year. A new beginning begins with new desires, to desire to dwell in the house of the Lord (Psalms 27:4), the desire to abide in him forever.
If we are in Christ, we will have our minds transformed into new creatures, “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things (II Corinthians 5: 17). are become new”
