A New Start
- Jan 2021 Issue
I am making everything new.—Revelation 21:5
When my family of five moved from Texas to Indiana last year, we were exhausted, but also excited. We were beginning a brand new chapter in our lives. And, as we begin 2021, I am sure you too are ready for a fresh start. In this study, we will read what the Bible says about our new life in Christ. “If anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!” (2 Cor. 5:17). It is my hope that, through this month’s study, we will:
- Understand why we matter to God and are given a new identity in Him
- Be energized to start something new in our lives that will bring us closer to God
- Know that our future with Christ far surpasses any failure we may experience
