(S)cripture-
2 Cor 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!
(O)bservation-
God sent His only Son Jesus Christ to redeem His people. By God's grace and love Christ was sent to this world to carry man's guilt and sin to the grave and then God raised Him again on the third day. When we accept Jesus as Lord and Savior we don't have to live in the guilt and shame that sin brings. When we ask Jesus into our hearts, repent of our sin, and ask forgiveness then we receive it - the old person is gone and we are made brand new in Christ.
(A)pplication-
Praise God that I can shed the ways of my previous life - for God's great love and mercy that makes me brand new. Since I have this new beginning I never want to look back but always ahead, in great anticipation of the things that God has in store for my life. My great desire is to serve Him who gave me this new life and glorify His Holy Name.
(P)rayer-
Father, thank You for my new beginning - that I don't have to be condemned, but that I am free. I praise You Lord that You cared enough about Your children to redeem us back to You. Jesus, thank You for Your sacrifice at the cross - that You suffered for my sake, even though I am completely unworthy. Father, thank You for raising Jesus from the dead and with Him that You also created a new life in me and made me worthy. I give You everything and will always be committed to serve and glorify You. I love You so much and I praise You forever, Amen.
