God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. Every moment of every day brings a fresh beginning. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. Truth: God calls us to let go of “former things,” so we can cling to our new identity in Christ. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland. Isaiah 43:18-19įorget the former things do not dwell on the past. You learn to grow in your new identity in Christ as you learn more about His character. Here there is no Gentile or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave or free, but Christ is all, and is in all. Colossians 3:9-11ĭo not lie to each other, since you have taken off your old self with its practices and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator. Truth: You are new in Christ, even today. Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here! To help you cling to the promise of God’s restoration, here are seven powerful Bible verses about a new beginning to experience in this world–and the next.

New beginnings bud around you and within you every day.
