In just a few more days we will be celebrating the opening day of a new year. New Year's Day seems to bring hope to a lot of people. There is something about saying goodbye to the past that offers great anticipation for the future. My question: Why wait?
Hebrews 4:16, "Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need."
Consider this verse with me:
Mercy allows us to say goodbye to the past!
Grace allows us to say hello to the future!
For the follower of Christ there is never a need to wait. There is mercy and grace available NOW in our time of need. God's Word encourages each of us to come boldly - in confidence - to obtain those things which we desperately need. The past does not have to dominate us and the future does not have to frighten us. God can handle it all.
Romans 6:4, "Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life."
What if I told you that you could bury the past and walk in the newness of life today? Would you believe me? Would you do it? For most of us, the shame, guilt, unbelief, and mistakes of the past seem too difficult to overcome. We struggle with the idea that we can actually let it go. What God offers us is more than just letting go of the past. He completely removes the past - wipes our slate clean - and allows us to walk in our new identity in Christ. God gets no glory when we wallow in past failures but loves to see His children walk in the resurrection power of the Holy Spirit.
Don't wait until Saturday to begin a new chapter in your life. Begin today to enjoy all that God has for you.
Believe in the finished work of Christ
Confess Him as Lord and Savior of every part of your life
Walk in who you are in Him
Start today!!!
You can enjoy the hope and anticipation of God's goodness in your life today. It's a matter of faith.
