Christ Has Made all things New
Christ Has Made all things New
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.
if something is not new in us its because it isn't in Christ!
God wants to renew us!
Things that get in the way of renewal in our lives!
Clutter!
As time passes by we gather things that might seem useful at the time but later prove themselves to be of no use or value but we refuse to let them go!
To everything there is a season,
A time for every purpose under heaven:
A time to be born,
And a time to die;
A time to plant,
And a time to pluck what is planted;
A time to kill,
And a time to heal;
A time to break down,
And a time to build up;
A time to weep,
And a time to laugh;
A time to mourn,
And a time to dance;
A time to cast away stones,
And a time to gather stones;
A time to embrace,
And a time to refrain from embracing;
A time to gain,
And a time to lose;
A time to keep,
And a time to throw away;
A time to tear,
And a time to sew;
A time to keep silence,
And a time to speak;
A time to love,
And a time to hate;
A time of war,
And a time of peace.
How do we identify clutter in our lives?
Ask yourself a few questions:
Am I keeping it because of love or fear?
There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love.
Does it bring life into me is it full of hope? or does it cause dread or death and hopelessness?
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His abundant mercy has begotten us again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
Do you feel refreshed by it? Is there a feeling of excitement around it. Or does it just seem like work and a burden?
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.
Does it cause your heart to be hard? Does it cause your spirit to be renewed?
Then I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within them, and take the stony heart out of their flesh, and give them a heart of flesh,
Does it strengthen you or weaken you?
But those who wait on the Lord
Shall renew their strength;
They shall mount up with wings like eagles,
They shall run and not be weary,
They shall walk and not faint.
God is doing a new Thing! Lets let go of all the burdens and move forward in newness of heart and hope!
“Do not remember the former things,
Nor consider the things of old.
Behold, I will do a new thing,
Now it shall spring forth;
Shall you not know it?
I will even make a road in the wilderness
And rivers in the desert.
