GLEANINGS FROM THE WORD Encountering an extraordinary God in ordinary life Issue # 274 New Beginnings Life is full of fresh starts and new beginnings.  Some beginnings are huge events. Marriage, birth, career changes, children leaving home. Others are small, like simply getting up in the morning to face the day, although if you’re not a morning person, it can seem like a huge event. Every time we make a decision, big or small, it represents a new beginning. We can begin a path that honours God and draws us closer, or dishonours Him and pulls us farther away. Simple decisions such as what we watch on television, or if we will act on a temptation or not, can actually  be the beginning of dangerous paths for us. Fortunately, Christ has made new beginnings possible for us. When we turn our eyes and hearts to Him, it is the beginning of, or return to, a path of holiness. Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!                                                                       2 Corinthians 5:17 NIV Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death. For what the law was powerless to do in that it was weakened by the sinful nature, God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful man to be a sin offering. And so he condemned sin in sinful man, in order that the righteous requirements of the law might be fully met in us, who do not live according to the sinful nature but according to the Spirit. Romans 8:1-4 NIV Until next time, may all your beginnings lead you closer to Jesus and the freedom that He offers. God bless. Kevin If you have never made that first step towards Jesus, today is the time to take it. Email me and I’ll share a few Bible verses that explain why a relationship with Him is needed and a prayer that will make it possible. It doesn’t matter how far you have gone down the path of life, choosing Him will be a new beginning and a fresh start.
