A new year, a new life.....
Blessed assurances. No condemnation in conscience, in memory, in sin...FREE!
Free from law, from sin, from death and it's penalty.
How cluttered life becomes with the multitude of wearying, depressing, defeating worries and concerns. How utterly impotent is the heart and will of man to free himself from this terrific and appalling bondage to the flesh. But what man can not do, God has done!
Sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, He condemned sin in the flesh. And now in Him life has become changed. Our troubles, sorrows, burdens, weaknesses, all take on a radiant significance in the light of His Cross....
We were weak, but in Him we are made strong. We were empty, but in Him we are filled. We were hungry, but in Him we are fed.
Now life becomes vital, meaningful, radiant with possibilities for happiness. We are blessed, forgiven, saved....
Thanks be to God who gave us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ!
A blessed and fullfilling new year to you all!
