2 Corinthians 5:17 … “if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation”……. Is the old person fading away?
If you are the same person, all wrapped up in yourself, what you want to do, what you desire, then you are not a new creation in Christ. There is an old song by John Lennon called “Give peace a chance” I like to say “Give Jesus a chance” He is peace. Isaiah 9: 6 He is called “Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, PRINCE OF PEACE.”
So many choose to hide from God rather than to run to Him. Are you afraid that your sin is too big? Remember this… Romans 5: 8 “While we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. So if you haven’t turned to Christ and asked Him to come into your heart, forgive you of your sins, it’s time now, don’t you think?
This song has awesome lyrics for a New Year, a new person. I hope you listen to it, or at least read the lyrics.
There is some great scripture on peace in the bible. A few of my favorite are… Philippians 4: 7-9 “And the peace of God which transcends all understanding will guard your hearts”… John 14: 27… “Peace I leave you, My peace I give you”…. But until you face up and clean your old house, make right what has been wrong between you and God, you will never have a real deep peace inside.
It’s time for a milestone, time to begin again, time to throw your hands up and surrender to something heavenly.
