Are we a new creation?

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!”  - 2 Corinthians 5:17

It's better than starting over! As Christians, we get a fresh and new start. God not only forgave us, pardoned us, ransomed us, and saved us, he also made us a new creation! And every time we come to him, every day we rededicate ourselves to serve him, and every new year we offer to him, we get a new start and a whole new world. So as we begin this new year, let's begin by offering ourselves to him, asking him to cleanse us from all unrighteousness, and take leadership of our lives.

Take The Name Of Jesus With You

.. Take the name of Jesus with you,

Child of sorrow and of woe;
It will joy and comfort give you,
Take it then where'er you go.
Ch. Precious name! Oh, how sweet!
Hope of earth and joy of heav'n;
Precious name! Oh, how sweet!
Hope of earth and joy of heav'n.

.. Take the name of Jesus ever,

As a shield from every snare.
If temptations round you gather,
Breathe that holy name in prayer.

Quickened in Christ
