A New Beginning

When a person sincerely comes to Christ, the Bible indicates that they are “born again.” As such it speaks of this experience as a “new birth,” a new start or a new beginning where the old things of our previous or old life pass away and all things become new. In other words, we experience a brand new life in Christ. Read and meditate on the following verses and see if you can identify things that should characterize this new life in Christ. 2 Corinthians 5:17, NKJV Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.
