This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!

2 Corinthians 5:17 NLT

https://bible.com/bible/116/2co.5.17.NLT

The reality of life in Christ is amazing. Literally, I am becoming a new person. At some point, when this body dies, I even get a “made new” body that lasts forever.

So, my character is made new. My mind is made new. My body is made new. All of this is through faith in Jesus Christ. The ongoing renewal is led by the Holy Spirit and overseen by God the Father.

This is my reality.

This is the truth for anyone following Jesus.

Encouragement: God is all about making everything new.

Prayer: Dear God, thank You for making me new in every way. I lean into Your loving renewal in me. In Jesus name, Amen.

“God blesses those who work for peace, for they will be called the children of God.” Matthew 5:9 NLT God blesses us for doing the work of living at peace with ourselves and others. Peace reflects the character of God. A young woman named Skyler shared a video on the You Version Bible App on this verse. She likened the quality of peace as being one thing that shows us as being children of God. She went on to the ...
