RE: Verse of the Day 2nd Corinthians 5:17
First I would like to send Happy New Years wishes to everyone on this first day of 2023! I pray that 2023 will be a year of blessing and spiritual growth for us all. This verse I think is very appropriate for today, the start of a new year.
"Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away: behold, all things are become new." 2nd Corinthians 5:17 KJV
I beg you as we begin a new year. If you are reading this post and don't know Jesus as Lord, it isn't by accident that you are reading these words. If you are tired of the same old life, if you are frustrated and it feels as if you are being crushed by the weight of your circumstances, if you have never had a personal relationship with Jesus Christ please make 2023 the year that you seek God. We are promised that if we seek God that we will find Him. As the verse I posted reads, find Jesus, accept Him for who He is, the promised Messiah, the savior of the world and you will be born again to a NEW life. Jesus is the only way for man to be forgiven of sin and to be reconciled back to God. Confess that Jesus is the Son of God, that he gave His life on the cross- shedding His blood to cover our transgressions against a Holy God. It is a free gift, it costs us nothing, Jesus paid it all. Someone reading this may be at the end of your rope, you've tried it all and nothing satisfies, nothing you've tried fills that hole in your soul, that empty hopeless lost feeling. None of this world's distractions can ever satisfy, only Jesus can do that. Some of you may say,"you don't know the life I've lived, God could never forgive me." That is a lie of Satan, No one is beyond the love of God. Yes our sins can be big but God is bigger. Read John 3:16 - "the world" includes all of us. The theft on the cross next to Jesus that humbled himself, admitted his sin, and asked Jesus to remember him was a horrible person much like us yet Jesus did not reject him, but promised that the man would be in paradise soon. Jesus came to seek and to save the lost, period. Find a solid local church in your community that preaches and teaches the Word of God as it is from cover to cover of the Holy Bible that God preserved for us. Learn about Jesus, who He is and turn your life over to Him, you will never be the same. If you have questions please send me a message, I don't pretend to know everything but I do know God, He knows me and I have His Bible. I will reply. God Bless!
