As the new year begins (or the old year ends), many take the time to make New Year’s resolutions like dropping a few pounds, getting a new job, joining a gym, or reading the Bible. Sadly, by the first of February, about 95% of those making resolutions have given up on them. As Christ Followers, as the New Year begins, let’s see what Scripture has to say about a new beginning.

OUTLINE:

The traits of a new creation in Christ…

…LOVE - 1 Corinthians 13:3-8

…THE FRUITS OF THE SPIRIT - Galatians 5:20-23

…OUR THOUGHTS - Philippians 4:8

…HOW WE ACT - Colossians 3:12-17


2 Corinthians 5:17

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!
