"Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature; old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new." II Corinthians 5:17. What great comfort comes from the surety that all things can be renewed. Individuals can change their path in life. God offers all people the opportunity to begin anew. This grand blessing is offered through Christ. The blood of Christ has the power to cleanse the heart and make it new. In Christ, there is renewal. The sinner can become the saint. The impure can become the pure in Christ. Whatever our past has been, we can begin anew in Christ. God through Christ extends a hand of mercy that will place one on a path where one can become the person that God wants him to be. All through the Bible we behold change. The message of the Bible is a message of change, renewal, and hope. God sparked change in the hearts of men with the birth, life, and death of Jesus Christ. Those dead in sin can be reborn to a life of righteousness and service to God. The dead becomes alive and the old becomes new. This promise comes only from God and only through Christ.
