My Daily Pause

As we continue to get settled into this new year, let’s have a look at some things which the Bible says are new:

1. Jesus’ blood is the blood of the New Testament – Matthew 26:28
2. Jesus has given us a new commandment, that we love one another as He has loved us – John 13:34; 1 John 2:7-10; 2 John 1:5
3. For those that are in Christ, all things are become new – 2 Corinthians 5:17
4. As Christians, we are to live in a new way – Ephesians 4:24; Colossians 3:10
5. We live under the new covenant – Hebrews 8:8
6. We have been given a new and living way to draw near unto God – Hebrews 10:19-22
7. We are to look for a new heaven and a new earth wherein dwelleth righteousness – 2 Peter 3:13; Revelation 21:1-2

“And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful” (Revelation 21:5).

Did you ever notice that nothing much good happens in the dark of night?

That feeling you get thinking about being alone in a dark alley is the same feeling you should have when faced with sinful situation. Filling yourself with the light of God helps keep the darkness of sin away (Luke 11:33-36)
