"He Makes All Things New"

What an honor and great delight to belong to Jesus! He calls me His very own. In His word in John 1:12 it says, "But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name." Because I have received Christ and I believe in His name He has given me the right to become His child. I am in Christ and I am in Him. But wait, there is more good news! 2 Corinthians 5:17 says "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation, old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new." Because I am in Christ and I have asked forgiveness of my sins, Christ has truly forgiven me. He remembers no more the things of my past and all things have become new in me. I have right standing before Christ. I have become brand new before my Lord. He sees me pure and covered in His blood and covered with His robe of righteousness. I no longer have to hang my head down low in shame because of my past, but I can now confidently hold my head up high and gaze into the eyes of Jesus. He is the glory and lifter of my head!

John 8:36 says "Therefore, if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed." The Lord has given me much freedom and joy knowing that I belong to Him and I am a new creation.

Daily I choose to stay in close fellowship with Him and to feed upon His word knowing that in Him He makes all things new!

Blessings,
