THE NEW LIFE

‭‭Micah‬ ‭6‬:‭8‬ ‬

“He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.”

‭‭James‬ ‭4‬:‭6‬ ‬

He gives us more grace. That is why Scripture says: “God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble.”

‭‭James‬ ‭4‬:‭7‬-‭10‬ ‬

“Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Grieve, mourn and wail. Change your laughter to mourning and your joy to gloom. Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.”

“Humility before God will produce peace with your past and hope with your future”

‭‭1 Timothy‬ ‭1‬:‭12‬-‭17‬ ‬

“I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has given me strength to do his work. He considered me trustworthy and appointed me to serve him, even though I used to blaspheme the name of Christ. In my insolence, I persecuted his people. But God had mercy on me because I did it in ignorance and unbelief. Oh, how generous and gracious our Lord was! He filled me with the faith and love that come from Christ Jesus. This is a trustworthy saying, and everyone should accept it: “Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners”—and I am the worst of them all. But God had mercy on me so that Christ Jesus could use me as a prime example of his great patience with even the worst sinners. Then others will realize that they, too, can believe in him and receive eternal life. All honor and glory to God forever and ever! He is the eternal King, the unseen one who never dies; he alone is God. Amen.”

II 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.

‭‭

Romans‬ ‭6‬:‭3‬-‭4‬ ‬

“…have you forgotten that when we were joined with Christ Jesus in baptism, we joined him in his death? For we died and were buried with Christ by baptism. And just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glorious power of the Father, now we also may live new lives.”
