A New Beginning In Life!

Getting something new has always been exciting. Anything new really makes us sit up and take notice. It's the same when someone is born again. We are on fire for Jesus and we want everyone to know about our new life. I am sure that we all were like this at first when we got saved. The trouble is that as we move into our new life in Jesus that a lot of the time the fire seems to dwindle. Most of us at some time or other have probably been through a low point in our Christian walk. We need to get a refreshing renewal with God and rekindle the excitement of our new life.

We have everything to be thankful for because everything is new like a new born baby. Your sins have been forgiven and you slate is clean. What a good feeling to have eternal life in Jesus Christ. You are sure of your destiny because God promised it to us who are born again. Ours will be in Heaven. God tell us that he is going to make a new Heaven and a new earth for us to live in. The old order of things will be done away with and all things will be made new.

[MAKING EVERYTHING NEW]
Revelation;21:1-5
(Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth passed away, and there is no longer any sea. And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, made ready as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne, saying, " Behold, the tabernacle of God is among men, and He will dwell among them, and they shall be His people, and He Himself will be among them, and He will wipe away every tear from their eyes; and there will no longer be any death; there will no longer be any mourning, or crying, or pain; the first things have passed away." And He who sits on the throne said, "Behold, I am making all things new." And He said, "Write, for these words are faithful and true.")

Just imagine, everything will be new and fresh. No pain or suffering or sorrow, just joy being with our Lord. I don't know about you, but I am excited about a new body and beginning a new life with Jesus. God will be with us always.

If you haven't been born again, you will not be there with us. You may not believe that, but that is exactly what the Scriptures teach. In order to enter into the kingdom of God, you must be born again. There is no other entrance but through Jesus Christ. When Nicodemus came to Jesus to inquire of Him, Jesus told Him the way into the kingdom.
John;3:3
(Jesus answered and said to him, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.")
You soul must be washed and purified by the Holy Spirit. This all happens at the moment of salvation. You are born of water and spirit.
John;3:5-6
(Jesus answered, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. That which is born of flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.)

Ask Jesus to save you. When you give your life to Him, you are born again into a new life. Your sins will be forgiven and your slate will be wiped clean. You can start all over and this time you have the Holy Spirit guiding you and helping you make the right decisions. Will you still mess up and sin? YES! But those sins have been forgiven. Your goal in life now will be to please God and obey Him.
John;14:21
(He who has My commandments and keeps them, it he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself to him.)
Jesus wants you to be saved but you have to come to Him for that salvation. It is a free gift but you have to ask for it.

God Bless You!
