January 7th – 2 Corinthians 5:17

2 Corinthians 5:17

We serve the God of fresh starts and new beginnings. And to all who would believe, through the death of His Son Jesus on the Cross, God offers a rebirth. For the moment we receive Christ as our Savior we become new creatures, born again, cleansed from sin, and declared righteous. Gone is our old nature as the Holy Spirit indwells us, going to work changing us from the inside out. He gives us the gift of a new nature that no longer chases after the desires of the flesh, but instead fills its desires through chasing after the Lord.

A mighty king of Persia who didn’t know God, and who followed his own rules. And yet roughly 150 years later, this unbelieving king became an instrument of God, proving that not only does God keep His promises, He can use anyone to do so.
