Bible Verse of The Day – 7-22-24

2 Corinthians 5:17 (NKJV) 17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.

As I look back on my life, and on the lives of others that I know, the transformative power of Christ becomes clearer every day.

I sometimes think back to who I was as a teenager, and remember some of the things that I did, and it makes me thankful for the blood of Jesus and the mercy of God.

I am ashamed of some of the things I did when I was young. But I know that they were washed away, and I was made a new creation on December 12, 1982, my spiritual birthday.

And so have we all done things that we look back on and wish we had not done.

But God is mightier than our sins and the darkness we once walked in. And He offers His redemption through the sacrifice made on the cross.

In addition to my own transformation, I have witnessed the power of the blood of Christ in the lives of so many others; people I knew when I was young, and others that I have met along the path of my life.

It is mind blowing to see God take truly messy human lives that seemed beyond hope and completely make them new. It defies all odds and confounds human logic.

But I know this one thing; it is real.

God is above human thinking. And He operates outside the boundaries of our understanding and our finite ideas and ponderings.

Let us all reflect on what God has done in our lives and be infinitely grateful for His redemption and for making us new creations in Christ!
