2 Cor. 5:17 says that anyone who is in Christ is a new creature, old things are passed away behold are thing have become new! 
How exciting to realize that when we are in Christ we get a fresh start. The bondage of sin no longer has power over us, and we have the power to live life abundantly as Jesus promised. 
Why not start this new year with a commitment to recognizing who we are in God and what He has called us to. You'll find a refreshing newness of life when you decide to live in Christ...
