HAPPY NEW YOU-GET ACQUAINTED WITH THE NEW YOU #1121/ WITH DR. GEORGE WATKINS

HAPPY NEW YOU-GET ACQUAINTED WITH THE NEW YOU

Today on this first day of the new year, I want to talk about the new you. As we celebrate the beginning of a new calendar year, those of us who have been through this several times have set up repetitive habits of celebration. Traditionally we have been taught to make New Year's resolutions, and in most cases, it simply means repeating the same ones you did last year that you failed in again. So we stand at the beginning of a new year and promise not to overeat, cut back on sweets, not watch television as much and read the Bible more.
And again, here we go setting ourselves up for failure one more time.
Why is that?
Because the natural man cannot rule himself or improve his character by outward action, the old man has died with Christ and needs to stay dead.
When we come up with more religious rules to improve our spiritual journey, we are giving medicine to the dead man in an effort to wake him up again.
The scriptures tell us in second Corinthians 5:17, "if any man is in Christ he is a new creature all things have passed away behold all things have become new."
Now notice in that verse the word "if." The word "if" is not a condition but a conclusion. It has nothing to do with what I do but everything with what Christ did on the cross and at the resurrection.
Because of his actions, all men were made new.
First Corinthians 1:30 "by God's doing we are in Christ." m/b
What does this mean to us today as we enter this new year?
It reminds us that we are not on a revolving calendar in our spiritual walk with God. He has made me new, and I stay new because of his grace. I do not come and go out of the kingdom of God like the seasons of the year change the leaves on the tree. I am in Christ, and I stay in Christ because his idea and actions made it possible.
If you can grab this today, my friend, you'll get off the merry-go-round of spiritual and emotional failure and know that you are in Christ permanently.
Happy new you, get acquainted with the new you.
