“Out with the old, in with the new.” It’s a pithy phrase we’ve all heard before. But did you know it has Biblical roots?
Jesus said, “Behold, I make all things new” (Revelation 21:25). All things!
God loves to bring newness into our lives. A new song (Isaiah 42:10). A new thing (Isaiah 43:19). A new day (Lamentations 3:22-23).
God especially delights in taking the broken places in your life and making something new out of them. Repairing them. Making them better than before.
A new thought life (2 Corinthians 2:5). A new boldness (Proverbs 28:1). A new strength (Isaiah 41:10). A new hope (Romans 15:13). A new peace (John 16:33).
And a new beginning (2 Corinthians 5:17). In every place in your life in which you invite him in. He wants to rid your life of old, negative and hurtful things and replace them with new ones. Better ones. Holy ones.
Jesus said he makes all things new. There’s nothing in your life he can’t make new. Nothing.
Believe Jesus. Trust God to make things new. He loves to do so.
Through the power of his grace.
